Bread Machine

[dalia]

I just purchased a bread machine and some of recipes call for bread machine yeast. Is there that big of a difference between 'Red Star Dry Active Yeast' and 'bread machine yeast'? Thanks.

To use active dry yeast in a bread machine, measure 3/4 teaspoon yeast for each cup of flour.

I find there is little difference from the Bread Machine and regular Instant Yeast in the packets.

The difference is that dry active yeast must be added to water to help dough rise.

I've used both and I haven't noticed a taste or texture difference...

I don't know what they mean "bread machine yeast." I always used active dry yeast in my bread machine and turned out perfect bread every time. Just be sure the yeast is fresh.

I have as well.

There's really no difference. As far as I'm concerned, yeast is yeast.

Only difference between the two is that there is also a quick-acting yeast, which allows the dough to rise in about half the time that it would take for regular yeast to do it.

Then there is also cake yeast, to which probably no one uses that much. That one has to be kept cold, so it could be found in the refrigerated display case near the biscuit / roll dough.

Zojirushi BBCC-X20 seems a good one? any idea where could you buy this in India or any other good bread makers....

I believe that's the one that I own, and it IS a great one!!

Try Cooking.com. That's where I bought it from.

Can the Bread yeast be used for other breads that call for yeast and not in a machine? I have some and wanted to use it for rolls and was not sure if I should so i got the regular yeast

[Drama Queen]

Yeast is yeast whether it's labeled "bread yeast" (to sell more product) or just plain yeast.

[Big Daddy's House]

Yes you're so right!

About the only one that I DON'T use is the cake yeast.

[Atomizer]

Thank you for your answer, I will be baking rolls tonight.

You're welcome!

I've used active dry yeast in my bread machine too. My recipes state to put the yeast with water so I just follow the directions just like bread yeast.
