are people still having issues with edmonds for there bread making? ?
I have brought some yeast and made pizza base and just making some buns... but it doesn't seem to rise like when i first started using it... thought maybe i wasn't using enough is it different to the tanco yeast as it says. . ? ? what are people using and is it working well? ? ?

I'm using the Edmonds sachets, wasn't happy with the Tasti breadmaker yeast, and previously just used the Edmonds jar (white lid I think, but not 100% on that).

Check the yeast and flour are not out of date. I also use the Surebake yeast.
