Making bread in a bread maker using regular yeast not bread maker yeast
With Fleischmann's bread yeast, how much regular yeast in a packet is required for a recipe calling for a packet of breadmaker yeast?
We have three at least different kinds of Fleischmann's yeast - one for bread dough makers, and two others - I had one of the others and had no way to tell - the bread came out dense.
Best Answer
A packet of instant yeast is approximately 2 and 1/4 teaspoon of yeast.
Please note that instant yeast used in bread maker is slightly different from active dry yeast. Instant yeast will generally be much smaller granules and can be mixed directly with the dry ingredients without proofing. Active dry yeast will be larger granules and often times require proofing. However there are several brands that does not require this extra proofing step.
Note that not all instant yeast come in small packets. I have used SAF Instant Yeast with very good results.

Answer 2
I have successfully made bread in my bread machine using Fleischmann's Traditional Yeast, which is in the form of tiny balls that are much coarser than those of Bread Machine Yeast. The main difference is that when using Traditional Yeast I mix it with the water and sugar and let it sit until it foams, and then stir it and put it into the pan. I then add all of the other ingredients, mixing the salt with the flour and adding that last.
