Has anyone had success making yeast rolls or any other yeast based bread/ pastry with this?

I have, with great results. I would suggest using a little less flour than the recipe calls for because this flour is pretty dense.

I make sandwich bread with this flour every week for my husband's lunches and it works better than any other flour I have tried. I also make pizza crusts, another yeast based product.

Yes I've make bread with this product. I like it more for baking sweets, but it does work. Slightly dense for bread.

I've only had good results with this yeast. I'm not an expert and I don't know how much you know, so I'll keep it simple. Make sure your water is 105-115 when adding to yeast with sugar to activate. Let dough rise for longer times before baking. Otherwise good product

The neat thing about this yeast, is that you add it dry to the flour, mix it in a bit and then use warm water to mix the dough. No more proofing the yeast. It works great.

I just made my first loaf and it is dense and only half the loaf pan. (I've never ever made bread before so I wasn't sure what it should look like). I wonder if I should have soaked my yeast or used 120 degree water like the yeast bottle suggests... anyone else do this?

Yes. This will work just fine in a bread machine. There is no need (no pun intended) to proof the yeast first. Just add the amount required for your recipe to the flour mixture and you're all set.

Absolutely! I use my bread machine almost exclusively and this has always worked well for me. It is the only yeast that I use.

I use a Hamilton Beach bread maker, it will even do cakes and jam. My bread rises well and is very tasty.

I have not found one yet. Mostly I look online or at King Arthur Flour for recipes. FYI, the bread recipe that came with the Zo is ok... not outstanding though. I would like to find a good one too!

I don't even have a bread machine and mix the whole recipe by hand. It turns out just fine. I do, however, mix the yeast in the warm water and add a teaspoon of sugar (yeast grows better in sugar water). The bread made with this mix is our favorite and has always turned out just great. For a bread machine, use the whole bag and follow the recipe. I do cover the top with foil in the last 20 minutes or so. Note: I always mix the wet ingredients together first, add half the bread mix, stir together, then add the rest of the mix and stir it together.

kat has the recipe on the box, but it's not particularly useful. The dough is very stiff. I've had much better luck cutting the flour to 2 cups and using 2 eggs and 1 cup of water. 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp nutmeg if you wish. With the 2/2/1 mix, the dough falls easily through the holes in the machine.

I use it to make regular yeast bread and also many misc. kinds of pound cakes etc.I have had no problems at all. Love the size. : )

You have to use Bread Machine yeast. Red star is the best. Comes in a little brown jar. Amazon sells it. Also do not use regular flour. Bread flour is superfine and rises better. Make sure it is unbleached.

No, I haven't made rye bread with this one. I have however attempted corn bread with disastrous results; I tried plain old white bread twice and it too was inedible. I am really sorry I bought this machine. I had a Wel-Built before this one and it served me well for many years. Now I'm stuck as I really don't want to invest in another machine but I'm afraid to waste more bread flour in this machine. Shop carefully before you buy.

I have my own recipe and it always turns out in any bread machine, it's always moist, light crust like we want and high....I purchased this machine and was very disappointed in the load of bread....the crust was deep and dark brown when on light setting... then read was too course and heavy an dry...I wouldn't be certain that your gluten free would turn out as this machine doesn't knead the dough very long an I really think that was the main problem...

I make yeast bread with it but I put it in a Pullman loaf pan. It does rise just fine if you figure out the proper yeast amount. It makes a nicely dense yeast bread that will double in size.

I have! I use the "dough" option (I think #9) and it works great! I use a recipe from a cookbook I own. 1 Cup of water, 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, 3 Cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. Salt, 2 Tbsp. dry yeast. Let the machine do the work, and 1.5 hrs later..boom! Pizza dough ready for handling or freezing for later! :) (Optional flour combos I've done: 1/2 C. Corn meal flour, 1 1/2 C. whole wheat flour, and 1 C. bread flour. You can also add spices like garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme...to add extra flavor!)

Gina for bread dough I would think it could work but if the dough is too sticky it might be a major pain in the kaboos and better left to a rolling pin unless you can use two wax papers and do a quick press. If you think it can possibly help you with time I say test it out if it doesn't meet expectations return it .
