Saf Instant Yeast, 1 Pound Pouch

> So yeast is hard to come by these days.

Where do you live? In the US it is easy to buy. Admittedly that price is 3x higher than normal. But cheaper than the little packets at their normal price.

> possible to breed the little yeast that I have

You are better off breeding a hardier natural yeast via sourdough.

I got a pound of SAF on amazon for $10. Ordered on Friday. Arrived 2 days ago. Packaged 4/20, expires 4/22. Started a no-knead dough last night and it rose like a champ.

Granted, that much cheaper, but I usually buy it off of Amazon, store in the freezer

It's a little more than $12, but shows it could be here by Friday.

No, I used some instant yeast that I picked up at the beginning of the pandemic. I've been really happy with it.

If you google it there are some ways you can make yeast from dried fruits. If you live in the US, go to the store early AM and you can ind some or amazon has this: https://www.amazon.com/Saf-Instant-Yeast-Pound-Pouch/dp/B0001CXUHW/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=yeast&qid=1595799910&sr=8-2

Finally found some on Amazon. Took about a week. Saf Instant Yeast, 1 Pound Pouch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001CXUHW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_eTrQEb0DQB8NZ

Amazon still delivers. a pound of yeast will fill a large Mason jar.

Dai Due has some, I'm sure other restaurants do too - or you can order a pound off Amazon and share with friends (that's what i did) - it's $15, but a pound of yeast is equivalent to 64 packets

that was the Carlsbad Costco. They had these

I normally get these at Amazon for $4-8

If you can’t find any in your stores, amazon still has 16 ounce packs in stock for $12. though I can’t speak to the quality. - that’s about enough for 21 loads of bread using my recipe, which should be more than enough to last you until your stores restock.

SAF Instant

I gave up finding any locally and ordered from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001CXUHW/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_joCUEbBDRVVXX is for instant yeast

If you're willing to wait about a week, Amazon has some :)

Here's one that seems to be in stock and available: https://www.amazon.com/Saf-Instant-Yeast-Pound-Pouch/dp/B0001CXUHW

One of the most popular brands of Instant Yeast is in stock at Amazon (Instant starts in dry ingredients rather than having to bloom in water):

[You sure about that?] (https://www.amazon.com/Saf-Instant-Yeast-Pound-Pouch/dp/B0001CXUHW)

Get a pound and throw it in a jar. Usually lasts me like a year or two. Only need ~1-2TBS for a batch of dough (no matter how much you make).

Their yeast isn’t special. You can just get yeast from amazon. Right now KA is taking forever and out of most things other than basic bread flour and AP. You will have better luck checking supermarkets.

Thank you! I ordered this https://www.amazon.com/Saf-Instant-Yeast-Pound-Pouch/dp/B0001CXUHW ,which was a brand recommended to me. It arrived surprisingly quickly! Good luck!

It’s overpriced, but they have some on amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001CXUHW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.gj9EbX9NEA9A

You can also have some of my sourdough started if you would like

I work in a bakery. We use SAF Instant Yeast in all of our yeast breads, the same yeast that is commonly available to home bakers. You absolutely do not need to activate yeast in warm water in order to get your dough to rise.

Looks like they heard you complaining. If anyone needs ... you can get 16 oz for $20

Not sure where you're located, but I purchased this last week, and it arrived yesterday:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001CXUHW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hope you can find some yeast! I've been having a heck of a time finding flour (AP, bread, whole wheat, everything).

i used red saf. mind you, i am very new to this too. 😉. others with more experience may have different experiences. i also used 00 flour.

Yeast available on Amazon!!!!!!!!!!!!

$8 for a pound. That's a lot of yeast.

I have never had a bad result with this brand. I used it professionally and at home.

I don't pay that much for it though. It's maybe 2.99 at my local store and lasts me forever.

I'm not sure where you're located, but, if there were to be a perfect time to try to talk your way into a Restaurant Depot, I would think this is it. I haven't been in a couple weeks, but I'm confident that they still have either bread flour or high gluten- both would work beautifully for this style of pizza.

As far as yeast goes... I found this:

https://www.amazon.com/Saf-Instant-Yeast-Pound-Pouch/dp/B0001CXUHW/

It is about double the normal price, but, it is in stock (presently) and it looks like it might ship relatively quickly. You will need an airtight glass jar to transfer it to.

Are you looking at the BellaRise instant yeast? I don't know that brand, and there aren't many reviews. I would get SAF. It's a well-known and popular brand, and it's actually cheaper. There are thousands of reviews on Amazon, but you can also research it elsewhere online.

https://www.amazon.com/SAF-Instant-Yeast-Pound-Pouch/dp/B0001CXUHW/ref=sr_1_2

For people who are having trouble finding yeast, amazon has 1 pound packages of Saf-Instant Red yeast for around $10-$11. Yeah, that's like twice the old price, but it's still cheaper than the above (~$0.70/oz vs the above $1.15-$1.16/oz). Put the excess in the freezer, and it should keep for well over a year.

However:

• You want Saf-Instant Red yeast, not Gold. The Gold is for high-sugar breads like Hawaiian Sweet Bread. See here for more info.

• Take a note of the expiration date on the package when you receive it. Some people have reported receiving expired product.

Not OP but I make my own pizza dough and pizzas often.

Olive oil is for flavor. You add after cooking because your oven should be piping hot and the oil would just burn off.

Steel is better than stone because it retains more energy / heat. I leave my oven on for an hour with the steel in it at the highest setting to cook at the hottest temp. My oven goes to 550 and I put the pizza in for 6 minutes

Drying the mozzarella makes it less sloppy. I don’t mind the grease on my salami and pepperonis though

I would home make both as they are pretty simple to make and cheap but I guess dough as you can have more flexibility with the style you want. But for my sauce I legit use a blender and just pulse on the lowest setting San Marzano tomatoes, oregano, chili flakes, garlic, olive oil and sauce, add to the pizza and then it cooks in the oven.

Here’s the starter kit I tell people to buy if they want to get into pizza making:

• SAF instant dry yeast
• Etekcity food scale
• Elements of Pizza Cookbook by Ken Forkish
• King Arthur Bread Flour or Tipo 00 - if you are cooking in your home oven bread flour works best, for high temp ovens you’ll get the most out of the Tipo. Both can be found at your local grocery store or Whole Foods *during non pandemic times.

Bought some a full pound of instant dry on the Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Saf-Instant-Yeast-Pound-Pouch/dp/B0001CXUHW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34LYN48CS3F2X&dchild=1&keywords=saf-instant+yeast&qid=1589552213&sprefix=saf-%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-1

It’s all on amazon - buying the Ingredients are not cheap but all this stuff will last a few bakes.
