Yeast Integration

I hope this is not a too stupid question but here goes. I use Allinson's active dried yeast (cheaper than instant). Now I know that the yeast is fine in that it works, but I would like to know, is it possible to just add this to the flour (like instant yeast) mix it by hand and add warm water and mix fully. If I did this, I'm not sure if the yeast would be distributed well enough and fail to rise.
