Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast Reviews

I purchase Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast in 3-packs and use this product in all of my baking that requires regular rise active dry yeast.

I think quite many - especially novice - bakers have problems with yeasts because temperature is a...

Fleischmann's active dry yeast comes comes in a three pack.  So you get 3 small packages.  It wasn't expensive and I found it at my local Keyfood supermarket. I needed to make a few recipes that included yeast and I have always used this brand.  It worked just perfect every single time.  I thought it had a funny smell but that's just because I never smelled pure yeast since I never used it all up close and personal until I had to.
