Yeast is a natural fungus with starts to grow when temperature rises, therefore making bread larger (for example). Yeast is most commonly used in bread making, helping it to rise.
Active dry yeast and bread machine yeast are both types of yeast used in bread making, but they have some differences. Active dry yeast needs to be dissolved in water before use, while bread machine yeast can be mixed directly with dry ingredients. Active dry yeast typically requires longer rising times, while bread machine yeast is designed for quicker rising in bread machines. Using the wrong type of yeast can affect the rising and texture of the bread, so it's important to use the correct type specified in the recipe for best results.
The main types of yeast used for making bread are active dry yeast, instant yeast, and fresh yeast. Each type has different characteristics and can be used in different ways in bread baking.
It depends on what you are making. If you are baking a cake or making bread, it is essential as yeast makes the cake or bread to rise.
