Instant yeast is a dry yeast that comes in smaller granules than active dry yeast. It absorbs liquid rapidly, and does not need to be rehydrated or proofed before being mixed into flour. Bread machine yeast and rapid-rise yeast are instant yeasts that may include ascorbic acid, a dough conditioner. It’s best for quick baking projects, because it allows you to make bread with just one rise. It can be used for breads, pizza dough, cinnamon rolls, and more.
