The ever-popular general purpose active yeast, found in kitchens all over the world, LeSaffre/DCL's active dried yeast available in a handy 125g or 500g tin.

Gluten: Does LeSaffre Saf Levure Active Yeast contain gluten? No, none of the LeSaffre dry instant or dry active yeasts contain gluten. All are suitable for GF diet but they are not certified.

Ingredients: Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

Application: add yeast to water to dissolve before adding to the flour. If the recipe calls for 'Instant yeast' you can use the same proportion of 'Active', and if 'fresh' is listed, please use half the amount of active yeast. 

To activate the yeast, please mix with water before adding to the flour (a touch of sugar may also help boost the activity, 0.5% of the weight of the flour). The temperature of the water when using active yeast is very important and should be between 35-38C, anything below 32C or above 40C will result in less effective results. 

If you prefer, yeast that can be added directly to the flour without the need to be activated, please see our extensive range of instant yeast (organic and non-organic available).
