Oasis Supply Lallemand Instaferm Instant Dry Yeast Red 1 lb — Fast-rising, 10% sugar tolerant

Lallemand Instaferm Red is a professional-grade instant dry baker's yeast in a 1-pound vacuum-sealed brick, formulated for regular and up to 10% sugar doughs and ready to mix straight into flour.

This Instaferm Red Instant Dry Yeast from Lallemand (sold by Oasis Supply) is a dried Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain made for consistent rise and handling convenience. Packaged airtight in a protective atmosphere, the 1-pound (450 g) brick offers long shelf life unopened, no refrigeration needed before opening, and immediate use without prehydration. Bakers from home kitchens to professional bakeries value it for predictable fermentation across artisan loaves, pizza, rolls, and sweet doughs.

How do I use Instaferm Red in my recipes?

Use Instaferm the same way you would active dry yeast in weight or recipe instructions — it does not require dissolving before adding. Mix directly with flour or add to the dough during the first mixing stage for even distribution and fast activation.

• Directly add to dry ingredients or sprinkle into the mixer bowl
• Use same quantities as called for active dry yeast in most recipes
• Works in bread, pizza, bagels, rolls, and enriched doughs up to 10% sugar
• Shorter proof times than fresh yeast in many formulas due to instant action

What storage and shelf-life practices keep it fresh?

Unopened Instaferm bricks are vacuum-packed in a protective atmosphere and can last up to two years stored in a cool, dry place. After opening, keep remaining yeast in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for extended life and stable performance.

• Store unopened brick in a cool, dark pantry — no refrigeration required
• After opening, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate or freeze
• Label with open date; frozen yeast remains usable for a year or more
• Avoid moisture and strong odors to preserve viability

Will Instaferm Red work with sweet and enriched doughs?

Yes — Instaferm Red is selected for tolerance in doughs containing sugars up to about 10%, making it suitable for slightly sweet breads and many enriched formulas. For very high-sugar recipes or extended cold fermentation, recipe adjustments or alternate yeast strains may be considered.

• Suitable for doughs with up to 10% sugar content without performance loss
• Great for sandwich breads, brioche-style rolls, and sweet loaves within that sugar range
• For very high sugar or fat content, evaluate fermentation time or strain choice
• Mixes well with other dough conditioners and professional baking ingredients

Who is this for: Lallemand Instaferm Red from Oasis Supply is aimed at home bakers who want the convenience and shelf stability of instant dry yeast, small commercial kitchens and artisan bakers seeking consistent leavening across multiple batches, and anyone replacing fresh yeast with a dry alternative for easier storage and handling. If you need reliable rise, easy dosing, and a product that integrates directly into mixing, this 1-pound Instaferm brick is a practical, professional-grade choice.
