Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, use within 2 months. Please re-seal carefully after use.
Prepare & Use
Directions:
- In a 600ml (1 pint) jug, dissolve 5ml (1 tsp) of sugar in 150ml (1/4 pint) of warm water (1 part boiling, 2 parts cold).
- Sprinkle with 15g (1/2 oz or 1 level tbsp) of yeast and whisk thoroughly.
- Leave in a warm place until the surface is covered with approx. 2cm of froth (10-15 mins).
- Whisk again and use as directed in your recipe.
Notes:
You'll need to reactivate this yeast in water before you can use it. We make it for hand baking, so if you're using a bread maker try our Easy Bake Yeast instead. 650g (1lb 50oz) of flour usually requires 15g (1/2 oz) or one level tablespoon of Dried Active Yeast.
Fresh Yeast:
If your recipe tells you to use fresh yeast, just replace it with half the quantity of Allinson Dried Active Yeast.
While we make it both for baking, you can also use this yeast in home brewing and wine making.

Great for bread machines!
Like the reviewer below, I purchased this without realising it wasn't suitable for bread machines. So I tried it anyway and the bread turned out just fine. As this is not in sachets you can use just the amount you want depending on the size loaf you make, also it is far more economical. It's recommended shelf life is two months, but if like me you only bake your own bread you will easily use it all by then!

It's changed.....for the worse
Having baked my own bread for some time, I used this yeast all the time, but recent purchases have failed to give the same results. I've contacted the manufacturer who said they've changed suppliers....

Perfect results in my breadmaker
I'd been using this for quite a while before I noticed that it wasn't suitable. Never had any problems with it at all - my bread was lovely!
