## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it be used with a bread machine?  Specifically Jojirushi?**
A: Yes. But you have to proof the yeast first with 1 tsp of sugar and 1 cup of warm  water between 90-110 degrees depending the amount of water the recipe calls for. Mix the yeast and sugar in warm water and let it set for approximately 10 minutes.  Then pour the mixture in the bottom of your pan together with other liquids set on room temperature. Add the remaining ingredients then you're set to go. Believe me, I used it once directly on top of the flour as per the instruction in the recipe and my bread didn't rise. Save you the trouble and the waste and the time

**Q: Is the package resealable? Or do you need a container to put it in?**
A: You need a glass jar and keep it in the fridge.  Mine lasted 2 years and ws as active at the end of that time asw it was when first opened.

**Q: What is the difference between this and the Red one?**
A: The gold one is suited for sweet dough recipes, and the red one is more of a all purpose yeast for pizza, bread, etc

**Q: Does it come with small packages inside? can i use it for steam chinese bun**
A: No, it does not have small packets inside.  I keep the package in a zip lock plastic bag.  I am very careful closing the package tight.  I would not hesitate to use this yeast on steam buns. I use it for French baguettes and pizza dough.  My Yeast has lasted in the freezer for 3-years before I replaced it.  My current supply is a year old and still working very well.  Good luck!  Great Product.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable Yeast for Great Dough
*by H***U on February 7, 2026*

Very reliable and makes baking so much easier. Highly recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best yeast ever! No proofing required
*by J***S on January 12, 2026*

Favorite yeast. Easy to use—no proofing required and the rise is always good. Good price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ten Stars
*by B***N on October 30, 2025*

I can't leave a high enough rating for this product. The original bag, purchased SEVEN years ago is presently in a sealed, plastic container in my freezer. I mixed up some homemade bread dough this morning and used this yeast - it is rising vigorously as I write this. The yeast has survived a power outage, where it returned to room temperature for a couple of days and then went back into the freezer, then a move to another city, packed in a box. It still proofs, beautifully. Frankly, I'd rather purchase this brand in smaller packages, as I don't bake nearly as often as I used to. I haven't ever found it in lesser amounts, so I will purchase another 1 lb. bag, when and if needed. There seems to be no necessity for doing so, presently. I'd rate LeSafre Saf-Instant Yeast at 10 stars, if I could - don't hesitate to order and store it in the freezer - you won't be disappointed...
