    RE: Yeast ??
    Did you get a booklet with your bread machine? Mine came with a wonderful book that someone bought in the store called bread machine magic. For I acquired mine at an auction.
    Anyways depending on the type of recipe you use. Depends on the quanity of yeast you use.For some recipes what so much yeast. And some bread machines reccommend a certain amount of yeast compared to another one wanting more or less. For I found that out in this book. Some people like one brand verse another.
    I have used both the packet regular yeast and the bread machine yeast. The back of the bread machine yeast label says
    Bread machine baking tips: Use l/2 Red Star Bread Machine Yeast for each cup of flour.The suggested temperature for liquidds is 80 degrees for regular baking cycles follow manurfacturers directions for shorter cycles as warmer liquids may be required. Red star Bread Machine Yeast is Quick Rise yeast great for traditional baking use liquid temperature of ll0 to ll5 degrees when yeast is diessolved directly in liquids; l20-130 degrees when mixed with dry ingredients.
    As for a packet..I follow the recipe on what it recommends on how many tsp. per packet it calls for. I haven't had any problems using either one. The biggest thing you need to remember when working with yeast. Is that you don't over kill it or under work it when you are using it. Also that it's not old. look at the dates. Good luck! there is nothing more refreshing then the smell of fresh homemade bread to enjoy especially on a cold winter day.

    If your machine calls for 'bread machine yeast' specifically then I'd buy the little packs that say "Bread Machine Yeast" on them. (Some are regular, some are rapid rise, some say bread machine).

    Mine calls for regular yeast and that is what I use.

    Bread machine yeast has finer grains of yeast for easy mixing than the packets of active dry yeast. This yeast also activates as soon as it combines with water, so no proofing of the yeast is necessary. I have used both successfully in my machine, too.

    Most of the little packages of yeast that I have seen are Active Dry Yeast. Bread Machine yeast is usually Instant Yeast which is a yeast that doesn't need to be proofed and goes is supposed to work faster than active dry yeast.
