Gents,
I was at my local store today. i back onto a rural area and they had fresh yeast. Its like a paste and i asked what people use it for and the response was bread. An i better buying fresh yeast or dried?

I bought a box of bakers yeast as thats what you all seem to use.

ian

Its Fresh bakers yeast,back in the day lots of the tried and proven recipes originally called for that but most guys switched to dried yeast as its more readily available.

keep in mind there is more yeast in dried yeast- ie 100g of dried yeast it more then 100g of yeast paste/cake

OK. so there is no benefit?

IMHO i would say that there is no benefit. the shelf life is only a week or so, you need to use more, but someone who has used it before might be able to give a different perspective.
