Tins of yeast - most supermarket chains sell them - but not every store. I went to get one from Asda today and they only sold the sachets. The tin I have now I believe I got in a smaller but 'more affluent' Tesco. Holland and Barrett sell them at the same price, maybe other health food shops too.0

Lakeland sell a packet of yeast for £1. It's made by Dove Farms and you need 1 tsp per 2lb loaf. You have to keep it in the fridge, but it's a lot easier than sachets.Here I go again on my own....0

I went to Tesco yesterday and they gave me free yeast! The woman behind the bread counter told me to store it in a tupperware container in the fridge.
I made my first loaf of bread yesterday (by hand) and it tastes fantastic!!It's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.0 -
I managed to get a tin of Allinsons dried yeast. It should be in the baking section near the easy bake kind. If you are hand baking, it does need a double rising but I like it because it doesn't have added raising agents to make it bake/rise faster. The only problem is getting the quantity right. My bread is getting less beary the more I bake!

I have never used fresh yeast, but as far as I know you make it into a cream with some of the recipe liquid.0

Fresh Yeast is so much faster acting than dried.:beer:0

I think that the yeast you use makes quite a difference to the taste of bread. Tesco fresh yeast has quite a distinctive taste when you make your bread, in fact it tastes just like Tesco bread! You don't want to keep fresh yeast too long I find. It's best to pick up some from the shop each time you go.0
