How to Use Instant Dry Yeast

Yeast is a fungus made from molasses, a by-product of sugarcane processing. Instant dry yeast became available after the introduction of active dry yeast. The texture of these two varieties of yeast is dramatically different, with fast dry yeast having a fine powdered texture versus the granular structure of active dry yeast. Instant dry yeast can be mixed directly with both dry and liquid components.

Baking bread can be difficult, mainly due to the many variables that come with employing yeast. There are various forms of yeast that can be used in baking, but active dry yeast and instant yeast, often known as rapid-rise yeast, are two of the most prevalent. Instant yeast and active dry yeast both require some of the same preparatory processes, but instant yeast will cut your overall baking time in half because it can dramatically reduce the time it takes for dough to rise.

Individual packets of quick yeast, tiny jars of active dry yeast, and bulk 1- or 2-pound bags of active dry yeast are available. Both can be used in almost any bread recipe that requires yeast. Although packets are convenient because they are already portioned into single-use portions, if you bake frequently, a bigger quantity of yeast is worth purchasing. For up to a year, store the extra yeast in airtight containers or zip-close bags in the freezer.

Active dry yeast loses roughly 25% of its cells during processing, according to baker Peter Reinhart, author of Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day, so quick yeast is more potent. Instant yeast is also easier to activate and promotes faster growth.

When using active dry yeast, soak it in warm water for several minutes until it "blooms," or turns effervescent. There's no need to hydrate instant yeast; simply mix it in with the rest of the dough's dry ingredients. However, if you hydrate instant yeast in the same way as active dry yeast, the dough will not suffer.
