## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the expiration date?**
A: If you put the yeast in sealed containers and freeze it, it extends the expiration date by 10 years. Just be sure that you use water as hot as it comes out of the tap to activate it.

**Q: Why price gouge at $55 / $60 when the regular cost is $10?**
A: This is sold by Red Star and is $29 so I don’t think they’re price gouging. A 4oz jar is $5.99 at the grocery store. This is a 2lbs bag.

**Q: Does this product contain Sorbitan Monostearate, or is it just the yeast?**
A: I was concerned about that question too.  My shipment arrived yesterday and it's just the yeast.

**Q: Can this yeast be used for baking bread with a bread machine? Or do you have to use bread machine yeast?**
A: I use this in a bread machine - but keep in mind that some bread machines are designed with shorter "rise" times and are designed for use with Instant Yeast which has a faster rise time. In this case, proof the yeast first (mix your warm liquid, sugar and yeast and let it get frothy - 5-15 min depending on temp of your ingredients) before using the machine.

Since I dislike having holes in my bread, I use a bread machine to mix up my dough and take it OUT for the final rise (in my bread pan or braided or whatever the final product I'm looking for is). That lets you have the best of both worlds....
