Instant active dried yeast

Instant Active Dry Yeast. Instant ADY (lADY or HADY) production is similar to ADY production but requires a different strain of yeast. After pressing, the yeast is extmded into noodles 0.2—0.5 mm in diameter and 1—2 cm long and deposited on a metal screen or perforated plate in a fluid-bed air dryer. Drying time is shorter than with ADY, about 1—2 hours in practice, with a final moisture level of 4—6%. Instant active dry yeast does not require separate rehydration. It is always packaged in a protective atmosphere or under vacuum. On an equivalent soHds basis, the activity of lADY is greater than that of regular ADY, but stiU less than that of compressed yeast. 

Active dry yeasts of improved quality have been available for many years, and more recently instant active dry yeast has been introduced (15,20). This instant yeast exhibits more activity than regular active dry yeast due to improved drying techniques, and can replace compressed yeast at a rate of 33 —40%. Dried yeasts, which are stable for long periods of time at room temperature, are of interest to bakers because of the high distribution cost of fresh compressed yeast. This is especially tme for those away from distribution centers and for smaller bakers whose usage rate of yeast is low. 

More modern forms of dried yeast are now available, known as instant active dried yeast (IADY) and protected active dried yeast (PADY). These types of yeast can be mixed directly into dry ingredients, making them more effective at gas production than ADY.

Yeast. Yeast makes dough rise by exhaling carbon dioxide bubbles. The gluten in the flour stretches to accommodate them, like miniballoons, makit the dough ball expand. Instant or rapid-rise yeast, sold in packets at the supermarket, is inexpensive and easy to get your hands on. It quickens the process and minimizes steps, but some complain that flavor is sacrificed. Another option for the b innit baker is active dry yeast, which is a yeast that is dormant until you add water. Active dry yeast performs best if you prooP it first—that is, combine it with slighdy warm water and a bit of sweetener (to feed the yeast) until it mrns bubbly and creamy. Artisanal bakers and pastry chefs use fresh yeast, mostly because of its flavor, but dried yeast produces excellent homemade loaves. 

NOTE You can substitute Vi teaspoon active dry yeast for the instant. Proof it according to package directions before adding to the other ingredients. 

Forms of Yeast. Yeast is available in several forms compressed yeast, cream (effectively a liquid), dried into pellets and powders claimed to be instantly active. Bakeries normally use compressed yeast, which with cream yeast must be kept under refrigeration. A supply of dried yeast will always be kept handy lest the yeast delivery should fail or the refrigerator breaks down.
