| I have found it in the Shaw's in Clinton, MA, so if there is a Shaw's
near you, I would think they would carry it. Chain supermarkets
typically carry the same items at all the stores, so you might want
to see if there is a Shaw's near you.

| WARNING!!!
It does make good bread, BUT not if your recipe calls for two "risings".
The yeast seems to give it all once, but the second rising is very
unsatisfactory. I have some simple, mix+knead+shape loaves+rise+bake
type of recipes that work very well....the recipes that call for
"doubling is size and then punching down and then form loaves AND THEN
ALLOW TO DOUBLE IN SIZE" again don't do well.

Re: .3 I hate to quibble, but that has not been my experience
at all. The bread I make is of the type you mentioned
where you let it double, punch it down, form loaves, and
let it double again, and I've had great results with the
quick yeast. The loaves are stupendous looking and they
taste great, more to the point.
I live in Arlington - maybe it's the altitude. :-)

Well, I've had mixed results in San Jose California - maybe it's just
the overall climate (we are dryer here). Anyway, I find my bread
has a noticably better texture and the second rising goes much faster
using regular yeast...unless I make "one-rise" bread...then I get
wonderful results with the fast yeast.
By the way, The Frug also mentioned the same thing on one of his
shows.... However, as he also said, any home-baked bread is GOOD
bread - whatever the yeast used. 8^}

Mokin trow. I'll have to do a side-by-side comparison test just
to see if I've been kidding myself about the results. I know The
Frug seldom errs, so this requires some serious investigation.
If it's true that I've been living a lie, thanks for pointing it
out to me!! Happy bread baking.

Saw fast-rising yeast at Stop & Shop the other day.
