About Instant Yeast

Instant yeast is a type of dry yeast that is known for its convenience and efficiency in baking. Unlike active dry yeast, instant yeast is milled into finer granules and contains enzymes that boost its activity, allowing it to be mixed directly with dry ingredients without pre-dissolving. It has a neutral flavor, enhancing the natural taste of the dough while providing a rapid rise, making it ideal for breads, pastries, and pizza dough. Its consistent performance and ease of use make it a favorite among home bakers for reliable and timely results.
