Found two tubs of yeast for handbaking in the cupboard

I forgot that i had accidentally brought these instead of the fast acting yeast for my bread maker.

Can i use it in my machine by activating it first? :confused:

    HI, RB! Is it the Allinsons *dried active yeast* in an orange tub? This is what I used when I first had my breadmaker, and used it with no probs. I then realised that they'd changed the wording, and it was no longer recommended.

    I finished the tub I was using - adding it dry, not activating it, and it was fine.

    HTH, Penny. x

    No, I just carried on using the recommended amount - as I said, didn't realise for some time :D If it were me, I'd use it as directed, then see what the result is, and take it from there.
