Several types of yeast are available for baking. The most commonly used yeast is probably "active dry yeast." There is also yeast available in cakes, or small cubes that are moist and require refrigeration. Many different types of yeast are used for other purposes, including wild yeast used in sourdough breads and specialized yeasts used to make beer, wine and naturally carbonated drinks.
