I’ve switched to the Red Star Active Dry Yeast 4 oz jar, and it has become my go-to for everything from crusty sourdough-style loaves to sweet brioche. Why I prefer the 4 oz Jar over packets: Consistency & Freshness: Packets are convenient, but they are expensive if you bake often. This jar allows me to measure out exactly what I need (usually 2 4 1 ​ tsp for a standard loaf) without wasting half a packet. The "Proof" is in the Pudding: This yeast activates quickly. Within 5–10 minutes in warm water (105°F–110°F) with a pinch of sugar, I get a thick, foamy head every time. It’s very "active" and rarely duds. Value for Money: If you bake frequently, buying the jar is a no-brainer. It’s significantly more cost-effective than buying strips of individual packets at the grocery store. Storage: The screw-top lid keeps the yeast airtight. I keep mine in the back of the refrigerator, and it stays potent for months. ## Features - Cake yeast in semi-dormant state for long shelf life - Ideal for all yeast doughs; not recommended for use in one-hour-or-less bread-machine cycles - One jar equal to 16 1/4-ounce packets and sufficient to raise 64 cups of flour ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0014CWDJO | | ASIN | B0014CWDJO | | Allergen Information | Fat-Free, Gluten Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #49,753 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) #24 in Active Dry Yeasts | | Brand Name | Red Star | | Coin Variety 1 | Dry Yeast | | Color | Red | | Container Type | Jar | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,890) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,890) | | Diet Type | Gluten Free | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.34 Kilograms | | Item Type Name | food | | Item Weight | 8.8 Ounces | | Item model number | dinirao | | Leavening Agent Type | Active Dry Yeast | | Manufacturer | Red Star | | Manufacturer | Red Star | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 16 | | Product Dimensions | 6.6 x 6.86 x 7.37 cm; 249.48 g | | Size | 110 g (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Vegan | | UPC | 795871048113 017929000219 | | Unit Count | 4 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Red Star - **Item form:** Powder - **Item weight:** 8.8 Ounces - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit count:** 4 Grams ## Images ![Red Star Active Dry Yeast, 4 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81p6rcVsvdL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: $80.21 for 4oz? Seems just a little steep.** A: If you have a local Walmart you can have 4oz jars shipped free of charge from their online website to your nearest Walmart. Costs $4. 67 per jar. You just have to become a member no strings attached. People are paying stupid prices on Amazon for this item, even worse on eBay.... Why? **Q: Can I use in bread machine?** A: I use it in my bread machine. **Q: What country is this from? and why illegal price gouging?! reporting..** A: It is from Wisconsin. It's a large jar of yeast. I did not find the price to be ridiculous and cannot answer your illegal price gouging comment. **Q: Can you use this with cookies?** A: I never heard of using yeast in a cookie recipe! Do you have a recipe that calls for dry yeast in cookies? If it does, of course use it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***S on 9 September 2025* ممتازة أنصح به ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***B on 21 January 2026* As someone who bakes bread 2–3 times a week, I’ve learned the hard way that not all yeast is created equal.
