Can anyone tell me why it seems only Peter Reinhart (American Pie) seems to advocate using instant yeast and not active yeast? Instant seems much easier.

Thanks

Dave

DAVE:
Good morning to you Dave.There are many other bread books that advocate the use of "INSTANT YEAST". Some books use the words "RAPID RISING YEAST". The writer means instant yeast but they are simply not learned in baking science. They are more book writers than anything else... they plagiarize other bread books. this is how they earn their living. In any event I will quote to you 3 excellent bread books that advocate the use of instant yeast for home yeasted lean bread baking.

"COMES NOW"

1) the
BREAD BIBLE by Rose Levy Beranbaum
2) BREAD TECHNIQUES & RECIPES by Jeffery Hammelman
3) ARTISAN BAKING across America by Maggie Gleezer.

David, the first 2 are a must if you wish to learn about bread baking. Not for the recipes but for the baking science of it all.
Good luck & enjoy the rest of the day young man.

~GOOMBA. Very Happy
