SAF-INSTANT YEAST RED LABEL SINGLE 1 lb (16oz) PACKAGE

SAF-INSTANT yeast Red Label has become my standard bulk yeast purchase. I've been buying it online for a number of years & it's always perfect. Solid thick foiled wrap that solidly sealed. Always pours out smooth, not lumps or clumps, and dissolves instantly in warm water, raising every recipe I've used it in. We have a Jorushi Bread Maker [our 3rd one over decades] so my husband loves making fresh bread several times a week. I've used other brands of yeast, and most are ok, though many take awhile to activate. I pour this pack into a glass quart canning jar with lid/cap & store it in the frig. My husband said, "Get the Red package one, it works the best." Bread makers can be more challenging, but Red Label always produces a consistently good rise. Bread comes out perfect & never 'yeasty' tasting. Fresh. Good til June 2026 so long shelf life, too. Good price. Quick free shipping on Amazon! Just made a huge batch of cinnamon rolls & double pizza crusts yesterday with my newest package. Works Great!!

This is the only yeast I use. Works really well and stays fresh for a long time in the fridge. We make homemade bread and pizza all the time. Rises nice and always comes out great!

Love the price point of the bulk yeast when it's not exorbitant! SO much better than buying tiny packs. You can jar and freeze it to keep it longer. Such an empowering product, because you can make fresh bread for your family! Even the bread in five minutes a day recipes work.

Great stuff. Every rises just perfect

This is the only brand of yeast I have used for 12+ years. It is reliable and affordable. I bake all our breads--we don't buy any bread from the store. I store the yeast in pint mason jars in the fridge once I open the package.

Solid brand - delivers consistent results. Stores great in the freezer makes it perfect to keep on hand and ready whenever you are. No delays in not having yeast for baking

I was using the active yeast with the brown jar from the supermarket, and I would get okay results. I wouldn't get the best rise from some of my breads or pizza dough. Then I looked up good yeasts and saw this one rated as pretty good. For the price, it's actually cheaper than what I was using. Right off, the rise was so much faster (which is to be expected comparing instant yeast to active dry). More importantly, the finished products were consistently better. This is solid. I'll probably continue having this one around for my regular baking.

This is a lot of yeast, but I bake my own bread. I use enough to finish a 4oz jar purchased locally, but I had problems with the yeast activity. For this 16oz package, I put 4oz in a tightly sealed container to use first and vacuum sealed the rest in 4oz packets for the freezer. The first packet from the freezer is going strong. This is a good brand and I will get it again.
