The complete baking yeast solution trusted by APAC’s industrial and artisanal bakers.
fresh yeast
Across the APAC, compressed fresh baking yeast is the most popular choice for both industrial and craft bakers due to its practicality, consistent fermentation qualities, and ease of use during mixing.
Here are some key points to consider when deciding if fresh baking yeast is right for your baking needs:
Incorporate fresh baking yeast into your recipes to create rich, flavourful, and aromatic breads that stand out.
Since fresh yeast is best used within a week when stored in the fridge, it’s ideal for bakers who bake regularly or produce bread in large batches, especially during festive or high-demand periods. That’s why it’s often called a “special occasion yeast.”
Professional bakers often prefer fresh yeast because it delivers a more robust flavour and superior fermentation quality. Fresh baking yeast is considered the best yeast for bread-making.
If your recipe calls for dry yeast, simply:
Double the amount of fresh baking yeast.
Crumble and dissolve it in lukewarm liquid (as stated in the recipe) before adding to the dry ingredients.
Always ensure it’s fully softened and mixed evenly to achieve consistent fermentation throughout the dough.
