Did you know that Fleischmanns yeast has been around since 1868? That is over 140 years.
It is my yeast of choice for all my from scratch homemade baking.
I decided to check out some of the recipes available on the Fleischmanns yeast baking website. I found this quick and easy Bacon, Herb and Cheese Bread recipe. It took no time at all to make. Not much different than mixing up a cake batter. All you need is one bowl to mix the dough, a small bowl to warm up the water and olive oil. And of course a baking pan to bake the bread in. The rising time was short and before I knew it my batch of cheese bread was in the oven baking.
With such an easy recipe there is no reason not to get back to scratch baking.
