So many jokes spring to mind. :-)

Great news for some friends of ours. I will be passing this on to them as they haven’t been able to find any locally where they live.

I have a couple of spare pounds of dry active yeast if anyone needs it.

wait, I don’t think those are pounds. The ones that look like small milk cartons

[lonnie mac]

I bought two pounds a few years ago and still got most of it left. Keep in the freezer. Last forever.

Exorbitant price. Should be $6-$8 per pound, max. That's the regular price for SAF, in my opinion the best yeast.

[lonnie mac]

Um, that's "todays' price. Like many things in life these days, prices are through the roof. That wasn't a link to the price "I" paid two years ago.

SAF ain't running any cheaper today at 17 bucks a pound.

I ordered and received this one a few days ago. Already used it successfully in a loaf.

Not to be "That Guy", but making and maintaining a starter (super easy) is the same as having "yeast". Yeast is a part of our environment, we breath it, it's on our skin, it's in our food and water, and, thank you Dear Lord, our favorite beverages. What happened to us? I'm not that old, but my mom and just about every mom I knew had a starter lurking at the back of their refrigerators. We have 2. Plus a jar of commercial yeast when I'm lazy........

[DiverDriver]

yes but the time I just aint got till I retire. Then lookout! kefir sourdough is first on the list.

You can maintain the commercial yeast the same way as a sourdough starter.. With the yeast shortage here I supplied commercial yeast "starters" to friends who needed them - use 1/8 tsp in a mason jar with flour and water, maintain like a sourdough starter. Look for bread recipes that use a "poolish" or "sponge" - there are even bread machine recipes that use poolish. It is a good way to stretch your yeast supply and the flavor of the bread produced is much better in my opinion.
