Molino Rossetto Instant Rapid-Rise Dry Yeast for Baking Bread, Cake, Pizza Dough Crust, All Natural Mother Yeast for Bread Machine. Superior to Active Dry - 3.5 oz - Pack of 2

So making homemade bread in colorado in the foothills of the rockies at 5900' elevation I have had some really great thoughts go flat lol. So, wasn't expecting this would work out. But it did. The directions even translated are how to make the "poolish" or activate this yeast. The difference between this and the yeast most commonly at the store is that it is inactive dry yeast not active like most folks are accustomed too. Honestly the flavor makes it worth the extra step to activate. like yogurt culture, once you have going, you can save some in the fridge and you have bread as long as you have flour and water (this strain likes milk too :)). This was my first experiment with not using instant, dry active yeast and it was well worth the extra step. It made such good bread! I mostly followed this a recipe at website called tavolamediterranea called italian-country-bread-made-with-starter-pasta-madre. If I can do it anyone can.

I bought this product a month ago. The brand is a very good brand but quality control is lacking or its just plain expired. I tried to use it today and noticed that the yeast is all dead no matter how many times I changed the water or batches. I missed the deadline by a couple of days. It's a very expensive product. Very disappointed.

Just as described. Easy enough to use. Bread I made with it was good.

This "mother yeast" is the Italian equivalent of sourdough, but it comes without the need to keep a sourdough starter. You can store the yeast in your fridge without any feeding, or the need to use it regularly. The resulting bread is delightful with a sourdough tang that is distinctive but not overwhelming. The bread is about as dense as my other homemade breads, so denser than store-bought sourdough. It also has a nice crust.You don't need to speak Italian to pick out the main points of the provided directions, but here they are in English:BREAD (made by hand)Ingredients: 500 g bread flour, 35 g mother yeast, 15 g salt, 10 g sugar, 300 ml water (at room temperature)Mix the flour with the salt and sugar, add the yeast and knead in the water until you have a dough that is smooth and homogeneous. Let the dough rise in a warm place covered with a damp dish towel for about two hours or until it has doubled in size. Form the dough in the desired shape on an oven sheet or container and return it to your warm spot to rise for an additional 30 or 40 minutes, still covered with a damp towel. Preheat the oven to 400° F (200° C) and bake the loaf for 20 to 30 minutes. The baking time depends on the dimensions of the loaf you choose. We suggest putting a pan of water in the oven during baking to create appropriate humidity.I follow the directions, usually using half whole wheat and half all purpose flour. My loaf pan takes a recipe that is 20% more than the one given on the package (extra 100 g flour and everything else scaled, too). I typically allow 50% more rising time and a little more than 30 minutes to bake.The only drawback is that this yeast is frightfully expensive. Notice that the recipe calls for 35 g of yeast; that's roughly 4 packets of ordinary bread yeast, and just over a third of one of the two packets in this product. (Amazon sells single packets, too.) If the price were less, I would make this bread more . . .

It made a difference when I baked my bread…great yeast!

First off, this is a mix of dry yeast and flour, not just yeast. It took me a second to grasp this. I’m not certain if it’s labeled that way, just a heads up. I’ve made a few different types of bread and pizza dough with it. It’s a slower acting rise than I’m used to, but the end product was a delicious bread and dough. It reacted well to wet doughs(I went up to 77% on a sour dough) and dryer doughs as well. My neighbor said the honey wheat bread I gave him was the best bread he’d ever eaten. 100% recommended.

Didn't work. I was told that this was the best bread machine yeast & after three dense, rock hard loaves I finally read the ingredients. Expecting to see just yeast, I was shocked to find that this "yeast" is 70% flour!! Why am I paying so much more for flour!?!? Really disappointed. Never buying it again.

Will use when I feel like it. Housecleaning and others tasks are distractions. Might work for some sweets also. Many recipes techniques. Try wood ash or hops. Works ! I made many. Not a challenge. Bread making is an art. FL a challenge. Barometric pressure altitudes … I know stages of completion. Challenge? No ty. Some just have zero taste. I know how to cook without any recipes. Still incorrect to steal. Some can. Some can’t. I have other future plans. Charmed. ??? Eh half puffs puffs. Elasticity. Just throw together. Noting much. Study you can do it!!!! Keep trying!!!!! I can when I wish to. Hagd
