This yeast is a fantastic addition for the pantry for baking at short notice. The instant nature of the yeast means it does not require proofing (sitting the yeast with sugar and warm water) prior to mixing with the dry ingredients, although you can still proof with this yeast. Dry yeast is a living organism that lays dormant until it is made moist and warm, either by proofing or by mixing in with other ingredients and left to rise in a warm spot. Product of China.
