You can use active dry yeast as a substitute for instant dry yeast. However, you will need to dissolve it in warm water before adding it to your recipe. Another option is using fresh yeast, but be sure to adjust the quantity as it is not as concentrated as dry yeast.
Fresh compressed yeast has half of the rising power of dry. You can cut the amount in the recipe by half or double it depending on what you have and what the recipe calls for. (Note: Most cookbooks for home use refer to dry yeast for recipes unless otherwise stated in the recipe or Preface)
No, it is not recommended to use expired instant yeast for baking as it may not be effective in leavening the dough properly. It is best to use fresh yeast for the best results in baking.
To convert active dry yeast to instant yeast, you need to use 25% less instant yeast. Therefore, if a recipe calls for 7 grams of active dry yeast, you would use around 5.25 grams of instant yeast. This conversion is due to the differences in moisture content and particle size between the two types of yeast. It's important to note that these measurements are approximate and may require slight adjustments based on the specific brand and batch of yeast being used.
Yes, bread machine yeast and instant yeast are essentially the same type of yeast, both being quick-acting and suitable for use in bread machines.
Just use one packet of whatever you have - all of the packets contain the same amount. Active Dry Yeast, Instant Yeast, Rapid Rise Yeast, Fast Rising Yeast or Bread Machine Yeast are all the same. They just have different names. If your yeast is in a jar - use one level teaspoon.
The recommended usage of Fleischmann's Bread Machine Yeast in a bread recipe is to use 1 teaspoon of yeast for every cup of flour in the recipe.
The main types of yeast used for baking and cooking are active dry yeast, instant yeast, and fresh yeast.

To ensure successful proofing of yeast in milk for your baking recipe, warm the milk to around 110-115F, add a pinch of sugar to feed the yeast, sprinkle the yeast on top, and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly. This indicates that the yeast is active and ready to use in your recipe.
