Thanks for all the replies.  Much appreciated

I have only seen active dried yeast on home brewing/wine making websites, usually in 7g sachets. 

 

But, a search on Lazada came up with this 500g pack.

@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

Depending on where you live (as not all carry the same products) Makro do sell a number of instant dry yeast products which can be found in their flour section.

 

As for the difference between active and Instant I found a link that should help to explain.

Slightly of topic. What’s the difference between Baking Powder and Baking Soda. Asking for a friend.

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/baking-soda-vs-baking-powder

 

From my experience I try not to use baking soda because it tends to have a more salty taste which can spoil the end produce. Also tends to produce more bubbles than baking powder. Where I do use it , I don't use much, maybe only a teaspoon.

 

Baking powder for me is the better option but again , don't overdue it as too much will again spoil the taste of what you are baking. In this case you can use twice as much as you might have had you used baking soda. If baking bread don't use either of these. Just use the yeast.

I use this from Makro....We make our own breads, pizza dough, etc. and this works just fine....500G for about 115B.....

I keep in the freezer in a sealed storage bags = good for at least 6 months....

If you have a Makro nearby, they should have most anything you need.....
