Abstract

An instant-type active dry yeast is provided which contains from about 0.1% to about 2.0% by weight (dry matter basis) of a material selected from the group consisting of locust bean gum, gum ghatti and mixtures thereof. The instant-type active dry yeast of the invention has a high leavening activity when used in direct addition processes as well as a comparably high leavening activity when employed in processes in which the yeast is first rehydrated prior to its admixture with flour and remaining dough or batter ingredients.
