Pizza & Specialist Yeasts
Pizza yeast is formulated to reduce shrink-back, making stretching easier. Osmotolerant yeast is designed for enriched doughs such as brioche and panettone where sugar levels are high.
Instant or Active - What’s the Difference?
Instant yeast is fine-grained and can be added directly to flour, while active yeast needs dissolving in water before use. Both achieve the same end result but suit different baking styles.
