ravip Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Just a quick search on Google brought this and a couple of others up. I guess it is not a difficult item to find.

Popular Post Finlaco Posted July 15, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2021 @ravipthanks for the quick reply. It would be very useful and helpful if i was looking for Instant yeast. Since you have mastered google so well, do a search "whats the difference between Active-dry yeast and Instant yeast" Keep safe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 OP to my knowledge none of the big supermarkets stock active yeast, i get mine from a local Thai/ Chinese supermarket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravip Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 The latter link mentions the product as "Bob’s Red Mill Active Dry Yeast". And a search to your suggestion brings this up >>> https://www.seriouseats.com/all-about-dry-yeast-instant-active-dry-fast-acting-and-more#:~:text=Dry yeast comes in two,instant you open the package.

Finlaco Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 @colinneil Is it their own product or they just stock it? If the later, could you take a photo of the packet/box and send me please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlaco Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 @ravip The suggestion to google "whats the difference between Active-dry yeast and Instant yeast", was more for you knowledge than mine, but i guess you know that. Thanks for the edit and second link. I had already found that yesterday. That was why I specifically asked "Any member know which supermarket stocks ...." But again, i do appreciate your efforts. Thanks. Google is so helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 As usual, most things can be obtained from Lazada and delivered to your door so no hassle going to to find it or get it. They have many here is one https://s.lazada.co.th/s.e4ysT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinese ? do you think we can find some in China town Bangkok ? ( I go there sometimes ... ) OP, why do you want active yeast ? you have already tried it ? so far I use instant yeast, but is it really better to use active yeast ? ps : totally off topic ; in the second thread, there is a link to Top's so, I looked at mustard, because now Makro don't sell any French mustard any more ; what they call " french mustard " is not at all French mustard, the only real one comes from Dijon ( on the picture of Top's , it's the two pictures on the right ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) I buy this from Big C ( all branches have it ) to make my bread. One bottle makes 2 400 gram loaves. Just mix with warm water for 5 minutes to activate then mix in with flour. Edited July 15, 2021 by Denim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't live in a big city but our local Big C has it and its a very rural area. If not, get it online from Lazada. It's worth knowing that once you get it it is best stored in the fridge to keep it active longer. Edited July 15, 2021 by Denim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that. I don't know who buys it here. Not the farmers that's for sure. This is in lower Petchabun, not a tourist area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. It makes my bread rise which is good enough for me. As far as I understand it is activated when you mix it with warm water. You can just mix it in with the flour without activating it first but I find mixing it beforehand with water is the better way to go since you can tell how active it is by the foam and bubbles that form. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erymax Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 OP, I use to buy fresh yeast in Foodland the past 3 years, unfortunately they close down the bakeries in Foodland about a month ago. I am still baking my bread every 2 - 3 days. Use only sourdough made my self and keep it in a fridge. My sourdough is now 3 years old. Feed it once a week and is very active because of the wild yeast in it. I use instant yeast only for cakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
