So I just book a electric bread maker and need yeast. Is this an all-around yeast? I like that it is especially good for whole grain...

We have been using this to make our wheat bread for as long as i can remember and it works better than the other one we used (cant remember name). We make the dough in our bread maker and cook in bread pan in the oven. We also use it to make white french bread fully in the bread maker and never had a problem. It turns out great.

Well, I don't use a bread machine, but I don't think you'll have anything but good results from this yeast. It's even great for over-rising like when you make foccacia bread and need really big gaping bubbles. The key, as in all bread making, is how much you choose to knead. That will determine how long the gluten strands are and how chewey or finely textured the bread is.

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!

Mixing the rye flour with general purpose wheat flour ~1:1 and "5-stars" yeasts worked well for me. I don't think any bread machine can make a good bread from 100% rye flour.

Have you found any alternative? I just started looking into purchasing a bread maker and I'm stuck in the same quandry. I avoid non-stick at all costs, but I can't seem to find a machine without it. Please let me know if you found anything. Thanks! Lyndi

Hi, it's a very good whole wheat flour. Use it in bread recipes calling for whole wheat or substitute about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of this flour for the white flour called for in your recipe. Sorry. I don't use a bread machine.

I used 1 tsp. per gallon in my banna multi grain mix and the yeast really took off. Have a shiney day!

My wife had this issue with a different breadmaker and it turned out to be the yeast not the machine. She had to try a few yeasts, I think it was the humidity in Florida killing the yeast or something.

Hi, I'm still trying to perfect my dough. According to eitalianfood.com, you only add the yeast to the flour along with 2 teaspoons sugar. I'm going to use honey instead of sugar. I'm making dough tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes.

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.

make sure your recipe fit the pan size - this is a normal sized bread pan so most bread recipes should work just fine - I suspect that your yeast isn't fresh or your not letting your doe rise long enough or in a warm enough location - your yeast is probably the issue here.

Yes and I made it from the Lekue recipe and it was a bit dry. I re did it and added some yeast and it was fine. I have found the bread maker very useful as I love fresh bread but the supplied recipes from Lekue are not my favorites. I use several out of the book "Joy of cooking" and they all work great. I hope this helps. It seems everyone likes bread a different way. The best advice I can give it measure well, write doen what you dom and when you find really good results you will have the information to duplicate it.Thanks,Joe

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. : )

Bread machine recipies work out fine, but I only use the slightly larger whole wheat yeast and no the regular yeasts. Also have to be sure to balance the ph when using rye - hence the bit or orange peel and bit of apple cider vinegar.

This is a flour like I've never seen before. It's non-GMO, organic, and makes great bread! There are whole grains in the flour which gives the bread a crunchy goodness. I have not spread some out on a flat surface and tried to determine if all 7 grains are represented, but I'm very happy - we're on our second bag. I was never one for dark breads, but this product is wonderful..

Yes it is, it is dried, and rendered inactive. So it will not work to make bread rise, nutritional yeast is high in protein though, and is part of the mushroom family. Often it is used to make a vegetarian of vegan meal healthier, at least as far as I can tell.

I have not had much luck with making whole wheat/whole grain breads. I have tried using the recipes in the book that came with it & followed recipe exactly, no luck. I have made homemade breads of all types by hand for years so I am not a novice bread baker. I would try a different machine.
