Also, I'd like to know if this yeast imparts a different flavor into the dough/crust than you might get from other yeasts.

I was using the grocery store instant yeast for pizza dough and kept getting a strong yeast doughy flavor. That didn't happen with this yeast much better quality.

No it does not, it works well and is just like other yeast products. I've always had positive results with this product. If your going total Italian style pizza. Use Italian products including water. Magnifico!

This yeast is a superb product and does not impart a different flavor. You will really like it. Try it you won't be disappointed.

It actually doesn't. I used it because I was using the Italian TIPO 00 flour and wanted the authentic result. You would be fine using a domestic brand.

you can taste the difference with Paneangeli Mastro Fornaio yeast. The pizza dough comes out much better with this product verses the yeast one may get in a grocery store.

It totally does. My husband and I have an outdoor pizza oven, we spoke to an italian baker and he told us to get this yeast and flour from Italy too as this also makes a difference. We tried flour and yeast from the states and it was missing something we couldn't define. We tried this yeast and flour from Italy and it is so good and crusty you'll love it.

Marvin, I am not sure exactly what you mean. Compared to regular Brewers' Yeast which is a by product of the brewing process, this is not. I can only say that it has a much milder taste than the other. I do know that regular Brewers' Yeast is supposed to be an excellent source of Chromium and B vitamins per Paavo Airola and Dr. Weil.

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.

Yes, the Paneangeli Mastro Fornaio Yeast can be used in the same fashion as the Fleischmann's Pizza Yeast.

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

To be honest, I do not know because I cannot compare them side by side but I would think a smokey flavor, if that is what you are after, would not be exactly the same. But, I can tell you that, so far, EVERYBODY has just raved about the pizza that has come out of it. We have hosted a number of parties with friends and family and they all say the pizza is super, even when I don't think that I have it quite right, so the oven is doing something right to make up for a few of my missteps in ingredients. If you learn how to control it just right, you can have some amazing Italian style thin crust pizza, and probably lots of other things too. To date we have just foundered on the pizza.

Not sure. It has "natural flavor" whatever that is and dried brewers yeast.

Not exactly; however, I have used this yeast many many times in my breadmaker, and I have had fabulous results with it. I simply store it in a glass jar and it lasts just as it should.

Im not sure, ive never done sourdough. I just that all my other baking turns out great..cookies, cakes, pie crusts all do well with this flour

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 read though the ingredients several times to be sure, but I didn't see yeast in any form. There is soy in several forms, potato flakes, ground veggies and sea salt. not even anything I can't pronounce and have no idea what they are.

I looked in the manual and in the recipe book that came with my bread machine, and there is no mention of sourdough, so my guess is "no."

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.

I wouldn't think so but it does have a lot of nutritional yeast in it for the flavoring.

Yes it is yeast but spoon for spoon is different and it is not typical bread yeast. I would not use it for anything unless u experiment it is very good but u have to know exchange amounts. Excellent for bread. But expensive

The yeast is already included. It's a small packet, all you have to do is open it and add to the mix.

No, but i wouldn't recommend it. I think the yeast it has, or whatever ingredient inside it, may contribute to candida over growth esp if u get ill. That'a what happen to me, and i have thrown it away.
