🍽️ How to use
-
Mix the contents of the sachet with the flour – ideally, distribute it evenly throughout the dry mixture.
-
Add liquids and other ingredients as per the recipe (e.g. water, milk, sugar, salt).
-
Knead the dough and leave it to rise – during rising, the yeast releases gases that make the dough rise and become soft.

Bake according to the recipe (e.g. baking bread or sweet buns).
🥖 Tips
✔️ The yeast does not need to be activated in water beforehand (no ‘stirring’ or waiting); simply add it straight to the mixture.
✔️ If the dough isn’t rising well, it may help to leave it in a warm place (around 25–30 °C).
✔️ If the recipe calls for more yeast, feel free to use the corresponding number of sachets (e.g. 2 × 7 g for extra-large baked goods).
