SAF-Levure 125g

Ok, so I have only ever baked home made bread once before in my life. I thought I would cut out all the nasties that are in shop made bread and try my own. I looked on Amazon at the reviews for this dried yeast product. People were happy with it. So I decided to try the small 125g tub. My reasoning being that if I didn’t get on with the dried yeast I hadn’t thrown my money away. My worries were unfounded. Apart from kneading the dough and leaving to prove longer in quite a cold kitchen in October, I have made x2 rustic style batch style loaves which turned out amazingly well!!! Along with Matthews Cotswold Bread flour it was a match made in heaven! The proof of the pudding is in the eating they say, and both my daughter and grand daughter loved the bread. So did I. If you are on the fence about trying to make your own bread, try it! Using the above products, plus a stand mixer, it’s a doddle. What have you got to lose? I will be coming back for a bigger size amount of yeast!

This yeast is so much better than those little 6/7 g pkts sold in supermarkets great for all baking requiring yeast

I purchased this make as a bit of research showed this make to be free of preservatives and the whole point of making bread at home is to avoid them however the yeasty taste to the cooked bread is too much and is off putting. I have used this 3 times now and added a bit more sugar and salt to try and hide the yeasty smell and taste but that hasn't made any difference. Won't be purchasing again.

This yeast was dead on arrival, i couldn't get a substantial activation out of in appropriately hot water, putting in a little sugar and it livened up briefly then died again. 0/10

Bought as it is UPF free and significantly cheaper than another alternative but the strong flavour of it in the bread was horrible - had to bin it - so ultimately a waste of money.

The tin had clearly been crushed. I haven’t opened it yet but hope contents are OK. If I’d been buying in a shop, I would have rejected this one.

I like the quality but the expiry date you told me was wrong. It’s only good for 6 months, when the date you sent was next year, at least a year.
