I bake all our bread. I messed up big time by learning how to bake bread and now that's all my family wants. I use a bread machine to mix and knead the dough. I take it out and let it rise and bake in the oven. I like to bake in bowls to get the round loafs. One thing I have found is it is very hard to get the old fashioned yeast. All I can find is the instant or fast acting. None of it has the great yeast flavor that makes the homemade bread taste like the homemade bread I use to make. Does anyone know where I can buy the real cake yeast?

Here in the UK, we have a supermarket chain called Tesco.s that bakes its own bread on the premises and is only too happy to let anyone have some yeast, free of charge too, perhaps if you asked at one of your supermarkets
you maybe pleasantly surprised

Bella, usually you find the cake yeast in the dairy case, not with the regular yeast. I bake all our bread and noodles too, I dont use a bread maker though...although sometimes I partially knead it with my kitchen aide mixer. I buy the dry yeast in bulk and keep it in the freezer. It keeps for a year or more.

I also bake lots of bread and yeast products. The very best and cheapest yeast I have found is at SAM'S. It's about $3.50 for 2 vaccum packed lb pks. I call it SAM'S greatest bargain.

Up North,
Is that supose to be dissolve the yeast in 1/2 c warm water?

I would love to make some homemade bread. I'd like to try and make a whole wheat version. Anyone have a recipe?
Thanks,

Last time I found "real" yeast, it was in a farm store and came in a jar. One tablespoon was equal to a packet. You may want to call a health food store if your market doesn't carry it. I haven't made yeast bread in ages. Can you bottle that smell for me?

Up North

Yes 1/2 cup warm water. yes can use whole wheat flour in in It .
