Red StarPlatinum Superior Baking Yeast - 3 CT, 0.25 Ounce (Pack of 3)

I have been baking bread for over 20 years mostly using Red Star bulk yeast found at small local co-ops or Amish farm stores. This Platinum Superior yeast is not available in this area so I only discovered it through a baking blog online where it was highly recommended. It truly makes a difference in your baking, especially in the rise of the bread. No matter how experienced you are, the quality of the yeast can make or break a recipe. It is expensive but I think it is worth the money.

Not pleased - I ordered on recommendation from a recipe and you sent yeast that expires this month and it did not work for my Easter cinnamon rolls. Don't send items that are about to expire!!!

If I could give this 10 stars, I would. This is the greatest yeast with which I have ever worked! I was so disappointed when my local grocer stop carrying it, but so glad I can buy it at Amazon. My breads come out of my bread machine at least three inches taller than with regular yeast, the bread stays fresher at least three days longer, and when I made cinnamon pecan rolls, the texture was more like yeast rolls. I will never go back to using regular yeast!

Yeast was stone cold motherless dead on arrival.

This is the best yeast ever! I always made cinnamon rolls with the regular active yeast and had great results, but let me tell you! this platinum superior yeast is amazing! just add with all ingredients and Walla! The results are bakery quality. I've done pizza, donuts and my cinnamon rolls baked and doubled in size a big difference as with the active yeast they didn't poof as much I won't buy anything else.

We’ve had a wood-fired pizza oven for years and enjoy making pizza for friends and family. And for years we’ve used the same yeast. We saw this product by accident and thought we’d give it a try. What a success!!! To a person everyone noticed the difference and the improvement in taste and texture. We love this product and will continue to use it.

After waiting for yeast forever, this yeast did not work. It says not expired but it did not "proof" so it was not active. We tried making bread with it anyway but it did not rise even a little bit so threw it out. Perhaps it was stored badly or misdated. The seller does not allow for returns so a waste of money

I make these wonderful cinnamon rolls ( you can find the recipe at tasteoflizzyt.com it is a Cinnabon copycat recipe.) I’ve always used the Red Star Quick Rise yeast because that’s the only quick rise yeast available at the grocery store. I don’t like having to proof it and often finding it isn’t alive despite not being expired. Many recipes suggested using the Platinum yeast so I decided to order a few packets.I made a double recipe of the same cinnamon rolls using the Platinum yeast which you don’t need to proof with sugar and warm liquid, you just add your wet and dry ingredients and a hot liquid and move on with the recipe. The first rise went much faster even in our cold house (I sometimes turn the oven on to 170 and then shut it off and put the dough in there to rise faster) using this yeast and so did the second rise after cutting the cinnamon rolls. They turned out excellent and I will use this yeast from now on. I think the recipe is absolutely affected by the quality of the yeast and going through packet after packet of bad yeast is time consultant frustrating.My packets don’t expire until 2022 and I keep them in the freezer. Will be using these from now on!
