## Description

Red Star Active Dry Yeast, 4 Oz

Review: Reliable, consistent rise—my go-to for homemade bread - I’ve been using Red Star Active Dry Yeast for my weekly bread baking, and it has become a staple in my pantry. Whether I’m making a standard sandwich loaf or a more involved pizza dough, this yeast has proven to be incredibly reliable. I feel that I consistently get a strong, active foam when proofing (using 110°F water with a pinch of sugar). It takes about 5–10 minutes to reach that perfect "rounded top" in the measuring cup, which gives me confidence that my dough will rise properly before I even start mixing. The 4-ounce jar is a great size for someone who bakes regularly but doesn't need a massive bulk bag. It’s much easier to store than individual packets, and it’s clearly labeled as gluten-free, which is a big plus for my household. I store mine in the freezer as recommended. It stays fresh for months, and I haven't noticed any drop-off in leavening power over time. A quick tip for others: If you aren't getting a good rise, check your water temperature! I find that keeping the water between 110–115°F is the "sweet spot" for this specific yeast. If it’s too hot, it will kill the yeast; too cool, and it won't activate. Overall, this is a high-quality, single-ingredient product that delivers consistent results. I’ll definitely be keeping this stocked.
Review: Reliable Rise Every Time – The Pantry Staple for Frequent Bakers - As someone who bakes bread 2–3 times a week, I’ve learned the hard way that not all yeast is created equal. I’ve switched to the Red Star Active Dry Yeast 4 oz jar, and it has become my go-to for everything from crusty sourdough-style loaves to sweet brioche. Why I prefer the 4 oz Jar over packets: Consistency & Freshness: Packets are convenient, but they are expensive if you bake often. This jar allows me to measure out exactly what I need (usually 2 4 1 ​ tsp for a standard loaf) without wasting half a packet. The "Proof" is in the Pudding: This yeast activates quickly. Within 5–10 minutes in warm water (105°F–110°F) with a pinch of sugar, I get a thick, foamy head every time. It’s very "active" and rarely duds. Value for Money: If you bake frequently, buying the jar is a no-brainer. It’s significantly more cost-effective than buying strips of individual packets at the grocery store. Storage: The screw-top lid keeps the yeast airtight. I keep mine in the back of the refrigerator, and it stays potent for months.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: $80.21 for 4oz? Seems just a little steep.**
A: If you have a local Walmart you can have 4oz jars shipped free of charge from their online website to your nearest Walmart. Costs $4. 67 per jar. You just have to become a member no strings attached. People are paying stupid prices on Amazon for this item, even worse on eBay.... Why?

**Q: Can I use in bread machine?**
A: I use it in my bread machine.

**Q: What country is this from? and why illegal price gouging?! reporting..**
A: It is from Wisconsin. It's a large jar of yeast. I did not find the price to be ridiculous and cannot answer your illegal price gouging comment.

**Q: Can you use this with cookies?**
A: I never heard of using yeast in a cookie recipe! Do you have a recipe that calls for dry yeast in cookies?
If it does, of course use it.
