Community Reviews
Red Star active dry yeast is a strong value for frequent bakers, with enough quantity to keep on hand for a long time. Proper storage in the fridge or freezer can keep dry yeast usable for years, and the comments include examples of it still performing well after two and a half years and even longer. The main drawback is the size of the pack, which can be more than casual bakers need, and active dry yeast also requires proofing before use. Comparable yeast has been seen cheaper elsewhere, so the deal is best judged against how much you will actually use.
Common Questions (3)
Stored airtight, active dry or instant yeast can last 1-2 years, and often longer in the freezer. Keeping one pack in the fridge and one in the freezer has kept it usable for years, though it can eventually lose rising power after a long time.
The 2-pack is a strong deal, but the quantity is large enough that many home bakers may not use it all before it ages. A single pack is also available for $7.59, and similar yeast has been seen for about $7 at Sam's Club or Costco.
Yes. Active dry yeast needs to be proofed or activated before use, unlike instant dry yeast, which can be added without that extra step.
