Rises Quickly and tastes amazing!
Made bread with this yeast and has been the best riser I have used. I just mixed it to the dry ingredients before adding warm water and let it rise a couple hours before baking the bread. Very happy and have enough yeast to share because I only make a loaf every couple week.

    I bake at least four loaves of bread a week but the stores in my area only carry the small jars of instant yeast. So glad to find this larger bag. This will last me much longer. Also love that I don't have to proof it first, just mix it into the dry ingredients. Perfect!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great yeast!
    Reviewed in Canada on March 14, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I was using the Fleishman instant yeast before. The saf yeast gives me good results. Faster than my last purchase of Fleishman. Is it because of the yeast's freshness or is this one really better? I can't answer but the saf works just fine. I am really satisfied. I keep it in the freezer.
    .... March 25th 2023,...according to kingarthurbaking's blog, SAF is faster than Fleishmein and Star.
    It seems to be true.... I really have nice results with SAF!... But if I let the dough rise a little bit longer with Fleishmein I think I could have the same results!
    .... July 11th 2023..update..
    I just bought a pack of fleischmann instant yeast and and I tried it yesterday (bread and bagels)
    It was a success and the rise was fast. So, I am not sure anymore if Saf is faster than Fleishman?
    I paid $7.49 for a pack of 454g at Maxi's store.
    Freshness of the yeast is the most important!... and the prize.
    There is no doubt, Saf is a good yeast! But it costs twice the price of Fleishman.

    Reviewed in Canada on May 23, 2024

    I’ve used SAF yeast for years for making pizza. I ran out and picked up some Fleishman’s IDY from the grocery store. All IDY are the same, right? WRONG! Different brands have different strains each with different properties. SAF rises less, has a good balance between crispiness and breadiness. Fleishman’s is much pouffier and softer. It’s likely that every recipe can be adapted to whatever yeast you have with a lot of trial and error. Key is that they are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. SAF works for my recipe.
