I am making a bread that calls for instant yeast. I did not see that in my store. Is it the same as fresh active yeast or is it something completely different?

I trust Gretchen's advice. As a general rule you would take a little of the water already called for, warm it up little and let the the active dry yeast set in it, bloom, for five or ten minutes. The rule of thumb is to use 25% less instant than active dry so, going the way, you would increase by a third.GB said:This particular recipe does not call for warmed liquid though. It is this recipe.
I'm not surprised. If the yeast is fresh and the water is not too hot, it's worked for me, every time. I don't know how I missed this recipe. It looks like a lot of fun.GB said:I ended up just dumping it in cold without warming my water. It worked perfectly.
