instant yeast

No-proof bread riser

Instant yeast is a variety of baker's yeast that doesn't require proofing in warm water before use—it can be mixed directly into dry ingredients.

The granules are smaller and more porous than active dry yeast, allowing faster hydration and quicker rising.

Also called rapid-rise or bread machine yeast: The recipe calls for one packet of instant yeast.
