Few could resist the incomparable aroma of the fresh-baked bread wafting from the popular Fleischmann’s concession at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, which was named ‘The Vienna Bakery’. People were drawn to taste fresh Vienna bread baked on the premises and served with coffee, ices and chocolate. Fleischmann’s Yeast’s sales took off after 6 months at the Exposition.
The particle size of RapidRise and Bread Machine Yeast are finely granulated to allow complete hydration of the yeast cells during the mixing process. The Active Dry Yeast larger particle size means it should be first dissolved in water to achieve complete hydration prior to adding to the recipe.
Store unopened yeast in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry (or refrigerator). Exposure to oxygen, heat or humidity decreases the activity of the yeast. After opening jar yeast, store in an airtight container (reseal jar) in the back of the refrigerator, away from drafts. Use within 6 months.
