yeast for bread machines: Does instant yeast also work in bread machines?

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.

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.

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.

Yes and that is how I use it. I can't tell any difference between this and "bread machine" yeast. It also makes the bread taste better than a store brand yeast bought at the supermarket.

I don't make bread machine bread, I make bread from scratch - however, I see no reason why it won't do a fine job, I've seen those bread machine loaves before and my homemade ones are much, much bigger :)

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."

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.

HI-- My bread came out like a normal loaf-- I did use regular eggs-- and I used whole eggs. I also added a 1/4 cup sugar away from the yeast. My Machine guidelines say to start with all wet ingredients on the bottom of the pan (make sure your water is warm enough) then add the dry ingredients with the yeast on the top on one side of the pan and I put the ¼ cup additional sugar on the other. I chose the darker crust option. My bread came out pretty good.

I don't know from experience, but would think, since it is a yeast, that it would work. Good luck.

I use this recipe: 2 pound loaf of wheat bread 1 2/3 cup water 2 Tbsp. butter softened (I actually use olive oil) 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar (I actually use Splenda brown sugar) 2 Tsp. Salt 4 2/3 cups Whole wheat flour 3 Tsp. Bread machine yeast Sometimes I will add a 1/2 cup of blueberries -Place ingredients into bread pan in this order: water, butter, sugar, salt and flour -with finger, make a small indentation on one side of flour. Add yeast to indentation, making sure it does not come into contact with the liquid ingredients. (If adding blueberries, I add them to the other side.) - select whole wheat on bread maker

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.)

Yeast is necessary. I have added several additional seeds and it works well . I add a couple of drops of honey, sesame poppy, Chia, Sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Good luck and enjoy!

I only use active dry yeast and have o experience with SAF yeast. I do no use a bread machine when I bake.

According to the instructions, NO. It is not to be used in recipes requiring yeast. So I haven't even tried it.I did just make muffins and used the gluten flour instead of wheat flour and the muffins are great.

Absolutely! I use my bread machine almost exclusively and this has always worked well for me. It is the only yeast that I use.

No...not that I know of and I have used bread machines for over 10 years. I always thought gluten was an ingredient in flour and not a physical setting on a machine. You need to use gluten free flour.
