Pooky .... when I was looking for yeast for making breads in my bread machine, I called the King Arthur Baking Hot Line ...  The person answering said the Instant Yeast was the best to use in the bread machine.

 

I asked what was the difference between the instant yeast and the regular yeast ... she said that the instant yeast you do not have to bloom it first (meaning, put some in a cup and add some liquid until it starts to buble).

 

The people at that King Arthur Baking line have always been very helpful, not hesitate to call them for info.

Yes, the SAF Gold is usually used for doughs with higher sugar content.

 

I have always used my SAF Red right of the freezer and had no problem with it.  I mostly use a bread machine.
