A highly stable, quality yeast that is activated with warm water and a little sugar, Active Dry Yeast is an essential ingredient used to leaven bread to ensure a quick and consistent rise and to impart its distinct and tangy flavour. It is wonderful in making classic white bread, brown or whole grain bread, or in specialty breads such as brioche. Active Dry Yeast can also be used to prepare Danish pastry (yeasted puff pastry), in sweet breads such as cinnamon buns, and to make English Muffins.
