Lesaffre Yeast Corp. Launches Online Sales Through Alice.com

Milwaukee, WI – Red Star® Yeast is the winner of the Chef's Best® Award for Best Taste in the dry yeast category. The Chefs Best® Award for Best Taste is awarded to the brand rated highest overall among leading brands by independent professional chefs. Chef’s Best selected Red Star as the best dry yeast because of the complexity of its aroma—a blend of fresh, fruity and yeasty notes. It also demonstrated a good dissolve and activation in water. Red Star yeast produced a roll with an even crumb, nice rise and a tender chew.

Red Star® Yeast is excited to continue its partnership for a second year with cookbook authors Jeff Hertzberg, M.D. and Zoë François. Look for Red Star® Yeast at retail, online and in your Sunday paper this fall to learn how to bake Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day!

Use in any recipe calling for active dry yeast: artisan loaves, pizza, sandwich bread, bagels, rolls, and more. No need to adjust the amount, use just as the recipe says.
