Instant Yeast

[bobkay]

Hi
I have just started bread baking again after many years. I used a conventional Oven electric. Now I am in a Motor Home and only have a Convection Oven. Prolems I never dreamed of. Will ask more questions later. I have a starter for some breads. My question is instant yeast use. It says just put in the flour or dry ingredients. Some recipes say add to water then rest of ingredients later after yeast desolves. I am using SAF Yeast bulk package.

Do I just add the yeast to flour regardless of what the recipe calls for?

Thanks so much
Bob

Fleischmann's Yeast is a site I visit when I am doing my baking. Hope this helps.

Use SAF® Gourmet Perfect Rise Yeast in any recipe. You do not have to mix it with water. Mix it in directly with your dry ingredients. The only thing you should remember is if your recipe calls for Active Dry Yeast and you want to use SAF® Gourmet Perfect Rise Yeast, then reduce the amount of SAF® Gourmet Perfect Rise Yeast by 25% of what your recipe calls for. If your recipe calls for 2 tsp. of Active Dry Yeast, then you should use 1-1/2 tsp. of SAF® Gourmet Perfect Rise Yeast.

Where I live, Saf Instant is the only yeast available, and I have never had any trouble mixing it right in with the flour. You'll probably need to adjust the quantity a bit - usually about 25% less than for active dry yeast.

Depending upon the recipe, you may need to heat the water to 115F-125F, instead of the usual 105F-115F range, since some of the heat of the water will dissipate when you add it to the dry ingredients. You may need to experiment with each recipe to see what gives you the best results. Remember to write any changes (either in yeast amount or water temperature) on your recipe so you remember for the next time.
