I like measuring out the yeast myself vs. the yeast packages, and this size jar is perfect – maybe it is psychological but I think the bread tastes better with the yeast in a jar vs. the individual package. Make sure you put the unused portion (after you open the container) in your fridge or it will go bad faster.I use this yeast with good flour to make delicious foodGot to have it for bread baking.This yeast works perfectly for my bread machine. The bottles hold quite a bit of yeast.Been using this for years, just never bought in a 2 pack before.Fleischmann's is always consistent from jar to jar and always does its job well.Don't forget to use the Smile.Amazon.com address - It's an Amazon program where many everyday things you buy will generate a small donation from Amazon to the charity of your choice at no cost to you. Info here: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/chpf/about/ref=smi_se_rspo_laas_aasIt worked great in my bread machineAS THE LARGEST AND MOST POPULAR SUPERMARKET IN MY AREA NO LONGER CARRIES THIS PRODUCT, AMAZON HAS BEEN A LIFESAVER. WHETHER YOU USE A BREAD MACHINE OR NOT, THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HOME COOKED BREAD FOR A DYNAMIC SANDWICH OR A SOPHISTICATED MEAL. YOUR BREAD CAN BE PRESENTED FOR A WINE , CHEESE, AND BREAD GATHERING OR PICNIC , AND MINUS THE WINE IS FAMILY FRIENDLY. I WOULD ADD AS AN ADDENDUM THAT OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN THIS PRODUCT ANYWHERE, AND EVEN AMAZON IS OFTEN SOLD OUT. SO FOR THOSE COMPLAINING OF PRICE, SOMETIMES A FEW DOLLARS MORE OBTAINS FOR YOU THE BEST PRODUCT. AN ALTERNATIVE IS FLEISHMANN’SINSTANT DRY YEAST IN THE ONE POUND BAG SIZE. IT IS LESS EXPENSIVE, AS GOOD AS THE JAR PRODUCT, AND ALMOSTALWAYS AVAILABLE FROM AMAZON. ENJOY!We recently purchased a bread machine and had terrible results with the various yeast products we bought (regular yeast, rapid-rise yeast). In fact we were so disappointed that we were ready to return the bread machine. However, we decided that we should try the Bread Machine yeast "just in case" it was the yeast and not the machine that was the issue. Voila! The bread came out great -- what a difference! Who knew??So, if you are buying a bread machine, I highly encourage you purchasing this Bread Machine Yeast as well. I looked for it in grocery stores but it was always out of stock.
