Red Star GlutenFree Active Dry Yeast, 0.25 Ounce (Pack of 9)

This particular yeast is much more expesive that if you went to walmart or your local grocery store to purchase it. BUT...a BIG BUT....it is absolutely GRAIN FREE. For those of us that suffer from celiac or food issues this IS the yeast to buy. Look at the ingredients! YEAST. Thats it. NOT grown on grain. I contacted the company on this a year or two ago to make sure. This has been my go to with NO issues!!! It has a shelf life of the other glutenated yeast so that is not an issue. I guess if you want to make gluten free bread or sourdough bread (with yeast added for that extra rise) you will pay for it. I dont look at the prices any more. SO...yes, its a great value for the money because my baked goods are good and not flat!

The red Star yeast is the very best functioning best value for the money that I have ever bought. The dough rises high and the bread turns out beautiful every time! It works fast and well.

These lil guys know how to party.

I keep Red Star Gluten Free Active Dry Yeast stocked in our house because my husband makes pizza regularly and this is the only yeast he wants to use. He has tried other brands, but always comes back to this one because it works so consistently. The dough rises well every time and it gives the pizza crust a great texture. The small packets are also convenient because you can use exactly what you need without worrying about a larger container losing freshness. At this point it has become a staple in our kitchen. If you bake bread or make homemade pizza often, this is a reliable yeast to keep on hand.

Buying in bulk. That means some might not work. But I make so much read thisnis a must. And theres no crazy additives. The rise is great. And you grt a good amount for the price.

I didn't use it until today and found it is better than any other yeasts I have bought. You can use it for both Western bread and Chinese Steamed buns. The taste is better.

Ok, so, I know I used the same picture in my pizza stone review. I've never made my own pizza before, so I'm feeling pretty proud. Anyways, through a cruel twist of fate, I developed a gluten allergy, but I've been craving pizza. So I ordered this yeast, and the pizza stone, and I was SHOCKED that my gluten-free flour was able to rise as much as it did with this yeast. I had to let it sit in warm water and sugar to prove (this is not instant yeast), but that crust was just as airy as a gluten crust. I actually got a little worried that maybe I accidentally used regular flour, but I haven't gotten sick yet, so I think I did it right. Anyways, thanks Red Star yeast! I can happily eat pizza again.

The only yeast that I could find which didn't have a preservative in it. Even the Red Star jar has it in it.

Really good quality yeast. Perfect baking results for my cinnamon scrolls.
