Red Star Active Dry Yeast is a traditional, all-natural granular yeast known for its consistent, moderate leavening, developing rich flavor in all doughs from low-sugar breads to enriched sweet rolls, and is excellent for traditional baking, bread machines, and refrigerated doughs due to its steady action, being Non-GMO, Kosher, and gluten-free. It comes in a semi-dormant state and needs rehydration (proofing) in warm liquid before use to achieve its full baking power for a classic yeast-leavened texture and taste.
