Question about bread yeast
I have some out of date sachets of tesco bread yeast, about a year (or 2 :eek:) or so :o . They are completely sealed up, so do you think they will be ok to use? To be honest I don't usually worry about dates on (most) food, but I wonder if it will still make my bread rise or not? Thanks:D
