Red Star Bakers Active Dry Yeast
( PRODUCT CODE #15700, 15800, 15903 )
DESCRIPTION
Red Star® Active Dry Yeast is a special culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The moisture is removed in such a way that cell viability and leavening power are retained. This results in a granular form of yeast designed to be rehydrated before use.
ADVANTAGES
1. Optimum yeast performance and product quality.
2. Vacuum packaging ensures freshness, consistency,
and minimal activity loss until opened.
3. Unopened, Red Star® Active Dry Yeast packages
need no refrigeration.
4. Consistent activity.
RECOMMENDED USAGE
Red Star® Active Dry Yeast can be used in all yeast-leavened goods with either straight or sponge doughs. It is normally applied in a ratio of 40% to 50% of compressed yeast weight requirements, depending on the sugar content and type of dough. Active dry
yeast should be rehydrated with a minimum of 3.5 to 4.0 times its weight in water at 38-43°C. (100-110°F.).
APPROVALS
Red Star® Active Dry Yeast is certified Kosher Parve.
