Saf-Instant RED Instant Yeast

Available from Chef Shop when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Saf-Instant Dry Red Yeast 3.2 oz Alternative to dry active yeast. No need to adjust the amount, just substitute one for one. No need to pre-activate in water. Just add directly to the mixture at the beginning of the process. Saf-Instant dry red yeast is used primarily for making non-sweet breads, not pastries or doughs that have a lot of added sugar. This single-celled fungus is what makes dough rise. It consumes sugar and excretes carbon dioxide gas, which is a good thing, creating air bubbles.
