Convenient, fast-acting yeast for perfect baking results

Instant Dry Yeast

EXPLORE more

What is Instant Dry Yeast?

  • Instant Dry Yeast (IDY) is a convenient and fast-acting dry yeast commonly used by professional bakers across APAC.
  • Typically vacuum-packed to preserve its potency, Instant Dry Yeast (IDY) is a dry yeast that resembles tiny particles of vermicelli.
  • Because of its small particle size, IDY absorbs liquid rapidly and does not need to be hydrated before mixing into flour.

Able to be stored and used at room temperature, IDY is the ideal option for bakers not using fresh or compressed yeast.

Instant Dry Yeast Characteristics

Here are some key features and usage tips to help you decide if Instant Dry Yeast is the right choice for your baking needs:

Achieve shorter mixing times compared to using compressed yeast.
Instant dry yeast performs well even in doughs mixed at higher temperatures.
Avoid putting instant dry yeast in direct contact with ice or iced water to preserve yeast activity.

How Can You Use Instant Dry Yeast?

Simplify your daily baking operations with Instant Dry Yeast, an efficient, fast-acting solution for professional bakers in APAC.

Instant dry yeast activates very quickly, making it suitable for breads that can be made within a day.

Instant dry yeast does not need to be activated before it's added into your recipe, saving you plenty of preparation time.

Perfect for a wide variety of applications, from sweet and lean breads to pizza crusts and other baked goods.
