Recently someone asked about the difference in active dry and instant
yeast. Normally I buy Red Star Active Dry Yeast in the 2 pound package
at Costco. Several months ago I bought a new package, not noticing
that it was not active dry but instant. I started having failures and
then checked the package and found that I was using instant yeast. I
did some research and found that when using instant yeast in a bread
machine, you should use 1/2 teaspoon for each cup of flour rather than
the amount called for in the recipe. This has worked just fine for me.
