Yeast

[Guest guest]

Pat H quoted <it " can also be used interchangeably (equal parts) with:

Traditional Active Dry, Quick-Rise or other instant yeast>

 

I don't agree and most ABM users would too. Quick Rise is not the same and will

cause severe problems except if you have a rapid cycle. The Active Dry and

Instant Yeast (or called bread machine yeast) can be used, almost

interchangeably, but I would use the Active Dry for white loaves or loaves that

will be baked in the oven and dough made in the machine and the Bread Machine

Yeast is great for all types of loaves but ones mainly baked in the machine.

That is why it was created. Some of the cycles on a bread machine don't have

enough rises to get the correct rising out of Active Dry yeast. You really need

it to rise quite a few times for the yeast to work really well. Bread Machine

yeast was created for machines that have only one or two rises.

 

This was my understanding. We've had a similar discussion on the ABMtalk list

lately.
