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.

Update: I've been using this for so many years that I've lost count. Just purchased this again, but I do things a little different now. I purchased a lock n lock container that holds 1 whole package and keep it all in the freezer. I have a special yeast scoop that has a retractable handle that I keep in it. As it gets to the bottom, I stretch the handle to make it easier. Still go through about 4 packages a year, sometimes more depending on how often I bake for others. I grind my own wheat and this is still my favorite yeast to use. Having 1 container saves me refill time. Original Post: I've been using this yeast over the past year and it's flawless. I mill our flour and make homemade bread for our large family so we go through about 8 lbs. of this per year. It will likely be more now that I'm making our own hotdog and hamburger buns too. We are trying to get away from packaged goods as much as possible and this price is fantastic for 4 lbs. Over half off what I usually pay per brick. Absolutely better than buying the small grocery store jars that I'd been using in the past. Easy to store in the freezer and lasts forever in there. I will absolutely be purchasing more next year. I buy a years worth at a time which will be 3 of the 4 packs. I separate each brick as I open them into small jelly jars with the amount I use in each 6 loaf batch of bread dough that I make. Then I just have to dump the premeasured amount into my mixture as needed. I always keep one jar labeled "Not for bread" to use for anything that I might need a different amount. Keep the jars in the fridge and this system works great for us. I just open another brick and refill my jars again as the last one is emptied. We go through almost 1 lb. of yeast a month so freezing isn't necessary. The unopened bricks are stored in a cool dry place and I use them up before making it to the expiration date. If we start not using as much, I'll start storing them in the freezer.

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

Great stuff. Every rises just perfect

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.
