Bob's Red Mill Active Dry Yeast, Gluten Free, 8 oz (227 g)

Bob's Red Mill Active Dry Yeast is a gluten-free baking ingredient designed for making yeasted breads and baked goods like sandwich bread, dinner rolls, pizza crust, and cinnamon rolls. It contains the strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is the same yeast used by professional bakers, and includes sorbitan monostearate as an anti-caking agent. The manufacturer notes that two and a quarter teaspoons equals one standard packet of yeast, providing a convenient conversion for recipes.

This product is tested and confirmed gluten-free in the company's quality control laboratory, with certifications including Kosher. Sourced from Mexico and the United States, it comes in an 8-ounce package, and the manufacturer recommends storing unopened packages in the refrigerator and opened ones in the freezer to maintain freshness. While intended for baking, the manufacturer advises against using it for purposes like making beer, sourdough starters, or as a probiotic, suggesting specialized yeasts for those applications instead.
