Product information
The instant yeast we trust.
Widely used by professionals, SAF Instant Yeast is the #1-selling yeast worldwide for beautifully risen baked goods. Of the thousands of products we offer in our catalog and here online, SAF Red instant yeast is our top seller. Unlike active dry yeast, SAF yeast does not need to be dissolved in warm water before it is used, saving you precious time. Simply use in any recipe calling for active dry yeast: artisan loaves, pizza, sandwich bread, bagels, rolls, and more. No need to adjust the amount; use just as the recipe says.
Active dry yeast vs instant yeast
Active dry yeast and instant yeast are both common leavening agents used in baking, but they differ primarily in how they're manufactured and how quickly they work. While both active dry yeast and instant yeast can be directly mixed with dry ingredients, instant dry yeast ramps up faster than active dry, meaning that it starts to raise dough almost immediately. Active dry yeast, while slow to get going, will eventually catch up, but encourages a longer overall proofing time. Generally, you can substitute instant yeast for active dry yeast 1:1, but when using active dry yeast in place of instant, remember that it may take a few more minutes for the dough to reach its optimal height.
