Fleischman's in 1 pound bricks is not even available there right now

I just got a 1-pound brick of Fleichman's from Amazon last week. Product of Canada, in a blue and white bag. It was $12.48, but I see now it's backordered till May 22.


I'll share some with you if you'd like.

As a poster mentioned above, yeast is readily available on Amazon in one-pound packages. 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast equals what is in a pre-measured packet. You can even buy a measuring spoon of that size.


The rest you can freeze.

You can freeze yeast??? I always bought the "activated dry yeast" in little yellow packets. Fleichmanns, I think.... I didn't buy the foil cubey ones. I will have to look into this. I have nothing better to do. What would I do without TOTV, in this unusual time...…..

Hey, next time you push a lady out of the way be more careful. She fell into me and knocked over my 200 rolls of TP. I had a hard time rolling her out of the way to get back to my TP.

Anyway to the OP - that's what the yeast is for. For making bread and similar bread-type items. At one point, you couldn't find bread in any supermarket - people were actually snapping them up first thing in the morning and the shelves were empty within the first hour.

If anyone wants my challah recipe I can post it or DM you with it. Definitely a labor of love; it takes several hours, and you do it 100% by hand (literally). No mixer, no breadmaking machine. A bowl, a wooden spoon, and your hands.

I rarely make breads. I usually make sweet rolls. AND dinner rolls. This old girl has a devoted following in our family..

Sorry, but, for the record, when I left, she was breathing and not bleeding much at all.

Very funny

Publix at Colony has both types of Fleishmann's yeast in packages and some in a jar.
