Saf Yeast

Nightowlz — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 20:12:51 GMT

Waffle Pantry has some in stock for $8.98 for the 1 lb block plus shipping.

Shipping in cart showed $7.99 with USPS or FedEx.

Breadtopia has it for $5.95 plus shipping. When I added to cart to check for my zip code it was around $8 shipping.

I wanted to try the waffle mix so I bought it from the Waffle Pantry.

If you need some yeast these are the best prices I have found with shipping.

Ebay generally has some but I would not order it unless they state the date.

@Nightowlz

Thanks for the heads up. I had some still left from my last order, but I got worried when this situation started to unfold. I imagined myself home with no flour or yeast and started to panic. I ordered the same one you pictured. It's the best, in my unprofessional opinion.

I buy this brand of yeast all of the time. I store it in the freezer in a jar and it lasts a long, long time. I always proof it before I use it and make sure it is fresh when I buy it.

I can't believe it is a hard to find item now. I wonder what people are making with it.

@Carmie

We make all our bread, rolls, hamburger buns etc with it.

I ordered 35 lbs flour from King Arthur. LOL!!! I see a charge on my account pending so it must be shipping soon.

I will have to put the extra in the freezer.

Yes, yeast is difficult to find, but I live in a great neighborhood. Someone just posted on Nextdoor they had extra yeast and all they asked was that we be extra generous at our favorite food bank. So now we have enough yeast for several loaves of bread.

We started this loaf last evening and just finshed baking it. Because I am not a good cook or baker, I am kind of proud. Amazing the things we can do when we have lots of time on our hands with no place to go.😊

@Nightowlz I went out to King Arthur's website yesterday to buy 00 flour for pasta and they didn't have any flour of any kind at all. Absolutely none.

Last weekend I gave my neighbor 10 lbs of all purpose flour. They were 100% out of it and it isn't found anywhere around here. The expiration date is in July, so it needs to be used.

Today, I used most of my 00 flour to make lasagna and spaghetti, and I only have a few cups left. I have 2 ten pound bags of Pillsbury all purpose and a couple of five lbs bags of Lilly White baking flour. I have no whole wheat left.

I also have a few boxes of gluten free flour.

You are lucky you are getting 35 lbs. I hope it isn't the last you'll find for a while. It is disappearing off of the shelves. Even those small boxes of cake flour are gone.

TP is easier to find than flour around here.

Someone posted you could order from King Arthur. I did not order at the time since I already have some. When I did go back to order some they were taking orders for backorder. Now it's just not available. They would only let you order 2 of each type flour. I ordered 2 5 lb bread, 2 10 lb AP & 1 5 lb wheat. I already have some of that plus all wheat white. I have some orgainc Arrowhead Mills AP flour. I also picked up 2 pkgs White Lily bread flour Wal-Mart had online. Never used it before. My freezer is getting full.

Did you take a bite yet. Yum!!! Home made bread is so good.

I never ate any until I was around 20 years old when I was working at Zales. One of the ladies in the office made some. She could not believe I had never ate any. We have been making it since.

We just made french bread Thurs. Ate french toast this morning.

They are selling 1 lb bags of flour at the meat market here. Not sure of price. I do know he made them from a 50 lb bag of flour.

Thank you @Nightowlz. I am late to the party. I remember attempting to make dinner rolls many years ago and sadly they turned out like hockey pucks so I gave up baking with yeast. But with sheltering in place I first decided to try again on my husband's birthday. Rather than a cake, we made cinnamon rolls (in honor of his father who made them every week to take to their lake home for family and friends). Success!

We then moved on to a loaf of no knead white bread and again success (although I'm not sure what we could have done for it not to turn out ok).

Todays selection is craisin walnut pecan bread made with a bit of whole wheat flour. I have made green salads for dinner and my husband can't wait to try our latest creation!

@Pooky1

Thank you. I did a search for no knead bread and found this recipe from the Blue Jean Chef who used to be on QVC. It is made with white and whole wheat flours with pecans, walnuts, craisins and golden raisins.

I tried to copy it for you but there was too much extraneous stuff included.

This was her recipe from just the other day. She also has a recipe for "no knead bread" I have been baking for a long time. Just put in her "no knead bread" and it should come up. I think it's probably made the same way.

I was able to buy some flour at Whole Foods a week or so ago. But same here, cannot find any yeast at all. I did buy some on Amazon but I really over paid for it

Re: Saf Yeast

wagirl — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 14:09:49 GMT

Just ordered this yeast--have a few packets coming from ebay and one from another place---I had a pound of yeast in my freezer---thought I would not be using it as we don't eat many carbs anymore so I threw it out--- but now am thinking that my bread making days are just getting started--had a bread maker too--I donated it as well----stupid, stupid, stupid--will try my Kitchen aid stand mixer for bread-----

Re: Saf Yeast

Pooky1 — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 20:19:58 GMT

thank you. we have a air fryer cookbook from blue jean chef. should be easy to find. if that recipe was long i dont blame you for not typing it on here. i probably would have done the same thing.

Pooky1 — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 20:29:26 GMT

i use our kitchen aid for dough and for bread dough all the time. i make pioneer womans pizza dough all the time and i freeze some. i use the dough hook and a while ago i saw the episode the it came from. and rea dont use the dough hook she used the regular pattle so when i made her dough last time i used the flex edge beater. my wife said how are you allready done doing double batch. i said i didnt use dough hook so dough came together in under 5 minutes instead of like 20 plus minutes that dough hook takes.

Nightowlz, thank you for the post. I was able to get flour but there isn't one store in the area that has yeast. Amazon is way overpriced for a 4oz jar that is usually $5.00 in the store. I ordered the Saf Yeast on Sunday and it is supposed to be here either today or tomorrow. Thank you!

It's sold out on Wal-Mart. Amazon price gouging. Prices for this on Amazon are ridiculous. I also saw some Simply Organic Spices for $20+ per jar???
