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. > >RisaG > I agree too. we can use quick but it just won't rise as much. active dry and yeast made for the bread machine do perform about the same in the standard cycle. i wonder why they said that about " quick " - unless.... I haven't use the quick cycle on my machine yet. afraid i'll get another door stop. but those recipes do say quick or abm yeast. most of the books i have, the intro say " by yeast i mean.... " and most say active dry but you can you abm yeast sold in bulk. I'm new to the abm baking but so far i've only made two loaves that even the crows won't eat. if you make that mincemeat loaf i sent - advice: i added 3/4 of the liquid mentioned in the recipe and then added the mincemeat (undrained; just strained with a veg-hole spoon). four letter words " Wett! " if you try it use half water add the mincemeat and add water if needed near end of first knead. (it's better than adding flour.) bob loved the flavor but i couldn't get my teeth into that texture. pat McTagit Clipbooks http://home.earthlink.net/~kitpath/MC/iTags.html co-Moderator: http://community.sierra.com/WebX?14@@.ee741bb For savory biscuits add pinch curry powder and/or dried herbs to your recipe -------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
