I want to start making bread in the oven, I went to the supermarket and there were two types of yeast. One was granulated and the other was powdery. Which one do I buy? Thanks.

I prefer the granulated which is just yeast, whereas the "Surebake" is a mixture of yeast and other "improvers"

Edmonds Surebake is a blend of active dry yeast and bread improvers to make breadmaking easy. Recommended for breadmaking and use in breadmaking machines. ...
six of one half a dozen of the other. I just prefer something without the improvers personally. And, in fact, if I could get fresh yeast, I would prefer that.

The bakery department of lots of New Worlds sell compressed yeast. It cost about $0. 90c for 100gms and it can be frozen.

Hi Pam - I find my bread is a bit heavier when I use compressed, but that doesn't really bother us too much. Can you not access it easily? Have you tried supermarket bakery departments?

No, did not think of that, but will see what NW Masterton has.
