Dry Yeast

Dry Yeast for Bread Making & Baking:

Dry yeast is an essential ingredient for creating risen breads and doughs, and the Smartfox range includes active dried yeast, instant dried yeast and specialised breadmaking yeast from brands including Tasti, Fermex, Bakels, Le Saffre, Mauri and Edmonds. Pack sizes range from smaller 96g–150g options for home baking through to 500g packs suited to more frequent use.

Active Dried & Instant Yeast:

The collection includes several types of baker’s yeast, so it is important to choose the format that matches your recipe. Active dried yeast options include Tasti 130g, Edmonds 150g, and larger 500g packs from Bakels and Mauri. Tasti Active Dried Yeast is intended for handmade breads and is activated by dissolving it in warm water with a small amount of sugar before adding it to the dough.

Instant dry yeast provides another option for bread and dough recipes. The range includes Edmonds Instant Dry Yeast 96g, Fermex Instant Dried Yeast 500g and Le Saffre Instant T Control Yeast in a 500g pack.

Breadmaking Yeast & Pack Sizes:

Edmonds Surebake 130g is also represented in the collection, providing a yeast product specifically associated with home breadmaking. With both compact household packs and multiple 500g formats available, you can select a quantity appropriate to how regularly you bake.

The Mauri 500g active dry yeast contains baker’s yeast, emulsifier and ascorbic acid and is identified as GMO free.

Savoury Yeast Flakes:

The collection also includes Lotus Yeast Savoury Flakes 100g. Unlike active and instant baker’s yeast, these nutritional yeast flakes are used as a savoury food ingredient rather than for raising dough. They have a cheesy, nutty flavour and can be sprinkled over pasta, salads and popcorn or mixed into sauces and dips.

Choosing the Right Dry Yeast:

Before selecting yeast, check whether your recipe specifies active dry, instant or a particular breadmaking yeast. Preparation methods can differ between yeast types, so following the directions for the specific product and recipe will help you choose the most appropriate option.
