Instant Yeast, also known as “fast-acting” yeast, can shorten the rising time in traditional baking by as much as 50% as it does not need proofing and it can be added directly into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients. Mix with flour or add to dough during the first stage of mixing. 2 and 1/4 tsp (7g) of Instant Yeast will rise up to 4 cups of flour, or use as per your recipe. Note: Use liquid temperatures of 120°F-130°F. (very warm, but not too hot to touch) Yeast activity may decrease if it comes into direct contact with salt or sugar.
