Doves Farm Quick Yeast

This really is the best dried yeast product I have ever found. Nothing else comes close.

Doves Farm Quick Yeast

So far so good with this, all my bread has risen wonderfully and without the aid of Ascorbic Acid either!

Doves Farm Quick Yeast

As many others, started off using sachets, but having got a second hand breadmaker have found that this has truly come into it's own, making even the wholemeal loaves much lighter. Have found that it's best to mix the yeast with the flour before adding the wet ingrediants, but that is no problem. I keep it in a sealed container and there's no way it would be around for as long as three months, with all the bread I've been making! Much more economical to use the correct amount of this than sachets, and also more environmentally friendly - less packaging with this. Highly recommended.

Doves Farm Quick Yeast

This has made the largest loaf I've ever made (I set to medium size in my panasonic breadmaker). I had to put the loaf in on its side in my lock and lock bread holder. Yeast fits exactly in the smallest lock and lock container that I got with the assortment pack that I also bought,so should keep much longer than the three months stated. Will be ordering more in the future.

Doves Farm Quick Yeast

This yeast is brilliant. I have only just bought my bread maker from Lakeland and this stuff works like a dream. It is easy to use, and so much more cost effective that the sachet alternatives. I would highly recommend this product.

Doves Farm Quick Yeast

After reading the previous reviews I was hesitant to try this after for many years using a supermarket own brand sachet yeast. However I have found it to work just the same! And it works out cheaper by nearly 40p for the same weight of yeast compared to my previous ownbrand - great if you make lots of bread! Another plus point was for once I can measure out the yeast accurately rather than guessing 1 or 2 sachets while following recipes.

Doves Farm Quick Yeast

After reading the reviews about this product, me too I am surprised to read that this is not a good yeast. I have been buying it from Lakeland for a couple of years and use it for baking in my breadmaking machine without ever having any problems. Furthermore, it really lasts a long time if you store the packet adequately (dry, away from heat/cold and light). Lastly, it is quite well priced.

Doves Farm Quick Yeast

Very surprised to read the negative reports on the Quick Yeast. I use the yeast on a regular basis and have had no problems. It is better that using the individual sachets of yeast in that it is more economical and you are less likely to run out of yeast.

Doves Farm Quick Yeast

I am surprised at Andrews and Fionas disapointment with the Doves farm yeast. I have been baking bread for over 35 years almost on a daily basis. I have tried all types and various brands but nothing rarely beats fresh yeast. But on this occasion I have to say I have had a great experience with Doves every time. I am now on my third packet and about to order more. So reliable and great results. My rolls are like hot air balloons.
