Easy Bake Yeast Recipe (no oil/butter)

Hi,

I recently bought some Easy Bake (instant, bread machine, whatever you like to call it) yeast thinking it was Active Dry. 

The only recipes i have found for this contain oil, Or butter, do any of you folks have any recipes for this kind of yeast?

It's just yeast - but usually with added "stuff" like vitamins, enzymes, flour improvers, etc. so...

500g flour, 320g water, 7g packet of yeast, 8g salt.

Mix, leave on the counter covered for 30 minutes, lightly knead, leave in bowl, covered for up to an hour (doubled in size), turn out, shape, put in a tin/banneton, etc. leave (covered) until proofed (usually no more than an hour) bake in hot oven.

That's the simple, "entry level" bread recipe. You may find it rises a little quicker with that yeast, or if you are in a very warm location.

But if you get that right, then you can make almost any other bread - go for it. Warm bread for lunch today!

Easy Bake yeast is designed for one rise...  no waiting to degas or shape after kneading.
