SAF

$9.50

SAF-Instant Red Yeast is a professional-grade instant dry yeast designed for lean doughs—those with little to no sugar content. Developed by Lesaffre, a global leader in yeast innovation, this high-performance yeast is ideal for artisan breads and classic bakery applications where structure, consistency, and flavour are paramount.

Known for its strong fermentation power and tolerance to temperature fluctuations, SAF Red is perfect for both artisanal and machine mixing environments. It offers a long, steady rise that enhances gluten development and improves the crumb and crust of traditional breads.

Use SAF Red for:

  • Artisan breads

  • Baguettes and pan loaves

  • Pizza crusts and flatbreads

  • Bagels and crackers

  • English muffins and hearth breads

Trusted by professional bakers worldwide, SAF-Instant Red provides consistency, versatility, and ease of use in a wide range of baking applications. Its neutral flavour and high stability make it a reliable staple in commercial and home kitchens alike.
