The yeast in the package is hard as a rock is this normal ? If yes how do I break off what I need?

The yeast in the large 2 lb. package is vacuum-packed in a brick-pack (like coffee), and will feel very firm. After you open the package and air goes into the bag, it should soften and you should be able to spoon out the measurement you need. Try loosening it with a fork. If it truly is hard and stuck together, you should return it as this is not as it should be.

I suggest returning it and get another package. My purchase is still loose and I can measure it out.

I have no idea. I baked all my life and never experienced this. Try and see what happens.

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.....

I've never experienced that before! :-o That sounds disgusting! I've ordered it online and bought it from Traders here in CO and fortunately did not have that experience! So sorry, AG!!

I use tepid water. Too hot will kill the yeast. Too cold will take longer for activation.

Generally - Put yeast around pan away from kneeding arm first, other dry ingredients next, then moist ingredients. there may be exceptions so follow your recipe instructions

There is a manufature date on the box. But I'm sure the kit is ok but make shure that the yeast packet is not outdated I would recommend using a new packet of yeast.

Unless the ingredients specifically use the term "yeast", I am not able to identify products that may be derived from yeast. Your best bet is to write or call the manufacturer or distributor.

It should last many months to a year in the freezer. http://www.thekitchn.com/longer-lasting-yeast-store-dry-yeast-in-the-freezer-179315 (btw, i was surprised too when i got a big box of them haha)

Recipe for bread machine call for active dry yeast, and there isn't time in the cycle for that yeast to work completely. This yeast is a rapid-rise yeast (same as active dry, but smaller particles so it activates more quickly) so you need to use less yeast. Normally, you'd use one packet of active dry yeast? That's 2 1/4 teaspoons, but you'd use 1 1/2 teaspoons of this.Have you ever tried to clean a bread machine that overflowed and baked? It's no fun trying to clean up the "no-immertsion" parts, no fun at all. (The ultimate bread machine is a good stand mixer. I got a KitenAid, and it's wonderful, but I suspect there are ones that are even better.)

Hi there. It certainly looks a lot like it and has the right packaging. Yeast Gard is an excellent product that soothes irritation immediately and lasts a long time.Hope this helps.

Sounds like you might be adding too much flour. Be sure to scoop the flour with a spoon into the measuring cup and then level off with the straight edge of a butter knife. Do not scoop the flour with a measuring cup or pat it down. It's very important not to pat it down because this will cause the bread to have too much and it will be heavier and with a weird texture. Also, be sure to refrigerate the bread yeast if you have a jar and you've opened it. Be sure any packets of bread yeast haven't reached their expiration date. Be sure not to forget to add the salt, oil, sugar. Do not leave anything out. Follow the recipe exactly, be sure to add the flour to the cup correctly and your bread should turn out delectable.

I had the same problem. It won't hurt anything and will gradually go away. Its a great bread box.

I had no problem with yeast so I have no idea. To be safe do the candidastroy first then wait a couple months and do the parastroy you dont want to over work your body.

Try using warm water between 120 and 130 degrees. I also stir in a tablespoon of sugar and let the yeast stand for 5 mins. I stored my unused yeast in container and place it in the freezer. I hope this will help you...
