Doves Farm Quick Yeast

I love fresh bread especially with butter and cheese, I know it's not good for me but I'd rather have a small slice of lovely bread than more of a mediocre bought shop loaf. We have had breadmakers for sometime, and the present one will soon be going to the place where well used breadmakers go as it has been over worked, since we discovered a great packet of yeast and have never had any failures. I always bought little sachets of yeast but my recipes didn't need quite as much as it said and so continually had little bits left in packets. Doves Farm quick yeast comes in a re-sealable bright orange packet with a dove symbol on the front. It is a quick ...  Read the complete review

Doves Farm produces a range of baking and bread making products including their quick yeast. This yeast comes in a little bright orange bag of 125g and the packaging and logo are modern and eye catching.

I always swore that I would never use one, a clumsy looking contraption that took hours to churn out a loaf of bread - I soon ate my words! So the packets of dried yeast have taken over where the fresh yeast has ...  Read the complete review

I use a breadmaker, and used to use the little sachets of yeast that you can buy. But I found them fiddly to use, and sometimes I would need less than was in the sachet and I ended up with half used sachets hiding at the back of my kitchen cupboard! So I switched to Doves Farm yeast. The yeast comes in a paper pack with a foil lining to keep it fresh. It has a resealable tab, but I find in practice this loses it's stick fairly quickly, so when I've finished with the packet I fold the top over and down, and fasten with a plastic clip. The yeast itself works perfectly in all the recipes I use it for - bread, buns, pizza and naan bread. The packet ...  Read the complete review
