Is this the same as "rapid rise yeast"? I want to use it in no-knead recipes. Thank you!

It's the same as "bread machine yeast." It's not the same as regular yeast, which doesn't produce a satisfactory loaf in a machine.

SAF-Instant *IS* the same as the packets of Red Star Rapid Rise yeast you find in the grocery.. (Lesaffre owns the SAF, Red Star and Panibake brands, plus others used internationally.) If you want an active dry yeast in a one-pound from Lesaffre, get Red Star Active Dry yeast.

No, this is not the same as rapid rise yeast. It can be used in place of packaged dry yeast: 1 tablespoon is equal to one package of dry yeast.

Hi Nancy, This is not the same as "rapid rise yeast", just your regular yeast. I hope this helps :)

I use saf-instant for everything. I don't think there would be a difference in the two however. I like the saf instant because I can buy it in 1 pound bags for $5 or $6 which makes it much cheaper than the strips of three envelopes. I keep it in the freezer in a lock n lock container, & it always works as expected. The most information you can find on one site for baking information is King Arthur Flour website. I originally found this yeast on their site, but now buy it through Amazon because we have Amazon Prime. Good luck with your baking!

According to the Fleishman Bread World website, Instant Yeast, Rapid Rise Yeast, and Bread Machine Yeast are all the same. They are quicker and can be added to dry ingredients. The Active Dry Yeast is slower and has to be mixed in warm water first. I have found that using the instant yeast allows me to only rise the dough once and saves a lot of time.

I didn't look at that booklet. From what I've found, it's really a mater of personal preference. I've used pasta recipes both ways. If there is a chemical, scientific reason, I don't know it. ...as with not adding salt directly to yeast.

It is definitely NOT yeast, it's a baking powder-type product that I have used in cakes and quickbreads, such as cornbread, but definitely not for yeast bread applications.

The manufacturer does not recommend using their product in breads containing yeast. See www.cup4cup.com/faq

I used the 00 flour and as most have said, it works good and no need to do anything different. I use 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon powdered milk (my secret to give it a very nice flavor), 1-1/2 teaspoon dry yeast, ~1/2 cup warm water heated in microwave for about 22 seconds. Add 3/4 teaspoon sea salt to 1-2/3 cups flour. When yeast is ready, mix flour into the bowl. Mix and kneed ball and coat ball with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. Some like to let it rise overnight in refrigerator. It is now ready to roll out and some cover with a very thin layer of olive oil, then the sauce and etc. I like thin crust pizza. I am out of this flour and may order more shortly. //... I used the 00 flour and as most have said, it works good and no need to do anything different.

Here is the exact answer on Fleischmann's web: http://breadworld.com/education/Yeast-Basics (this is a Flei... web page). The answer copied and pasted: "RapidRise® Yeast is the same as Bread Machine Yeast and Instant Yeast. (Instant Yeast is the a 1 pound package of Fleischmann's® Yeast sold at Sam's Club.)"I'm ordering today and will report when I've used it a few times.

I don't exactly know the answer, but I will say that this is not "active" yeast like you would use to bake bread. Almost 100% positive that that means no, it won't ferment apple juice, or anything else.

Don, There are a lot of recipes out there but the one that standouts is by Dan Leaders 4-hour baguettes. You can find it on the internet "Yeast breads.com" Food 52. I think you will find this one to be helpful. Good luck.Tony

Instant Yeast stays fresh for about a year, unopened, I store it in the freezer in a plastic jar, and appear never to have problems. If compared with ACTIVE yeast use 25% less Instant Yeast.In most ways (as far as I can tell) Instant, Quick Rise and Rapid Rise behave in a fairly similar fashion. I have used all in bread making machines, but bread making is more fun when you do it 'by hand'.. I live in fairly dry area which levels the field. Experiment with all yeasts, and flour mixes, and you will get slightly different results. Some you will love, some you will hate. Luckily we are all different.

Instant yeast is nothing more than fast acting yeast. Use the same as any other yeast 2 1/4 teaspoons in most recipes, the same as one packet of yeast. You are wasting your money buying bread machine yeast. Even though it is not necessary, I like to proof my yeast.

Buy new flour. Buy the kind recommended, my older Sunbeam calls for bread flour. Honestly you will not believe the difference. I use instant yeast that I get at a warehouse store . Store in a glass jar in refrigerator.

Yes! I love this yeast, I'm a pretty serious (home) baker. I'm very particular, and I mostly bake with whole wheat flour. It is the best yeast I've come across. It works so very well!

As I did not recommend the Zojirushi, I can only tell you about made by hand bread. It's higher and dryer at 5K, so bread routinely raises more quickly and can dry out....so, use a bit less yeast, either a bit more water or less flour, and watch the rise carefully. You don't want to over rise and have it collapse. I never had a good loaf from the Zojirushi, but have made over 350 loaves per week in a convection. Try the King Arthur high altitude recipe for exact measurements. Good luck. Nothing like the aroma of fresh bread!!Breadlady

I prefer it because I can keep it in my freezer and use it straight from the freezer into the recipe without letting it warm to room temperature first (as required by most others) and not have to worry about it not working correctly. That's a lifesaver if you forget, or want to make something on spur of moment. Plus, I've always had better rising from this yeast than other brands.

No. According to the manual: Use "Quick" for quick breads that do not use yeast and require only mixing and baking.

I make 3 loaves. Find a recipe though that uses only flour, water, salt and yeast. The dough "proofs", it doesn't rise. The yeast isn't mixed with water. Spritz the bread before you put it in the oven and it comes out perfect crusty on the outside and soft inside. I love this pan!!!!

This yeast does not and will not proof. If u let the dough rise/ferment in the fridge, the dough gets a little bigger. Where it does come "alive" is in the oven. The outside crust gets a bit high, but the center does not. It scared me a bit the first time, but the yeast works. As far as flavor---I didn't k=notice the difference. Was it worth it? American yeast will proof, and if u leave it in the fridge to ferment w/the dough, it will rise.....Any other questions, feel free to ask.....
