Product Description

It can be added directly to your recipe as it doesn't need time for proofing like with traditional yeast, and is perfect for the oven or bread machines. Mix directly with other dry ingredients. Fleishmann's is gluten free and sure to satisfy. This bulk pack of instant dry yeast is ideal for use in restaurants, bakeries, food trucks and catering companies. It can also be used to keep your home pantry stocked, since it's shelf-stable. Anyone who bakes bread and other goodies on a regular basis will enjoy Fleischmann’s Instant Dry Yeast. Use it in the bread machine or in the pan. You just never know when the need to bake may arise! Fleischmann's, a company started by brothers, revolutionized baking by creating a compressed yeast cake in 1868 as an alternative to inconsistent starter and leavener agents. Their Instant Dry Yeast has a finer texture than more granular active dry yeast, so there's no need to mix it with water. Add to other dry ingredients, mix with wet ingredients and follow your recipe. Fleischmann's Instant Dry Yeast will help make bread that is light, fluffy and fully-raised every time. This simple and consistent Instant Dry Yeast can be enjoyed in so many ways. Here are some of our favorite uses for it: -For making airy, chewy pizza dough. -Crafting large soft pretzels, perfect with mustard for a savory snack or a dusting of cinnamon and sugar for a sweet treat. -It can be used in conjunction with gluten-free flours to make breads that are safe for those who avoid gluten. -For baking fluffy Bundt cakes, decadent pull-apart breads and streusel-topped coffee cake.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2025Great Quality product. I have used this instant yeast for many baking projects, and it works perfectly every single time! It activates quickly, giving my dough a great rise and activates quickly. The quality is consistently good, and the price makes it an excellent value compared to other brands. Definitely a staple in my pantry now. highly recommend for both beginner and experienced bakers!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025Fleischmann's yeast is my go-to yeast for bread baking in my machine. Loaves are consistent, with an excellent rise. I split the one-pound package into 2 containers. One I freeze for later use. Freezing keeps the unused yeast fresh. The other container is refrigerated, ready to go for bread baking. Great value to buy the one pound pack.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025I think this yeast is a great value for one pound of yeast! I say this because I had been using Fleischmann’s Bread machine Instant yeast costs $19.00 for (2) 4 ounce jars! Yikes! That said, I found no difference in the quantity needed or the liquid (water) temperature for bread making. And I should say thant at this time I only bake bread. My dough rises same as the more expensive jar yeast and my breads have been consistantly excellent with tight texture that slices and holds together perfecrly. Issues? Well only one I can think of is if I can use this one pound of yeast before it expires! Not exactly an probem as I’ll give some to my kids. Bottom line is if you bake a lot this is the way to go but even if not, it’s still a bargain so you cannot lose.
The first photo is a 1 1/2 Lb French Bread Loaf, second photo same loaf sliced and thir photo is a 2 lb loaf of Seeded Rye.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2025The yeast I was using was still in code but not by much and it was OK but not by much. Upon receiving this, oh my goodness! I was unsure just how wonderful fresh yeast could be. Over the last week or so I have made the most amazing breads.....better than bakery!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2025Works great and so much more affordable than little packets
- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2025We have received our favorite yeast -usually we have purchased the same Fleischmann’s brand for Bread Machine. While reading instructions in the package is treated as the one I am used to bake with.
At first thought that something was wrong with the package cause was feeling like a rock was inside 😂 its because the yeast is been packed by a special machine I think - and it’s full of yeast to the top.
I am hoping this yeast version works as good as the one for Bread Machine will update later. No need proofing 👈👍
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2025Good stuff. I have been using it for over 50 years now.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2025I've got to say - heck of a deal, Insane deal when you consider grocery store prices. This one pound block of Fleischmann’s yeast comes in a vacuum sealed bag, and is about the size of 1/2 a red brick. It last me a long time - I bought my first block three years ago. I keep it sealed in the fridge and fill a smaller Fleischmann’s 4oz jar for the gettin' and regettin' container. I have enough to make about two loaves left from my last 1lb order - I just received another 1 pounder today, and figured it was time to extol a little praise on this fine yeast being sold at a fine price.
