The difference would be when the yeast is added to the recipe.

Active dry yeast and instant yeast can be used interchangeably.

In many recipes yeast can be used interchangeably, however you may need to adjust proof times or the amount used. This type of yeast is compressed and sold in blocks. This is more commonly used in commercial bakeries as it has a short shelf life.

Although speed is nice you can lose out some flavor this way as it is not given enough time to develop. Unlike the first two types of yeasts mentioned, this yeast can be used with a single rise cutting down the proofing time. Like instant yeast, this has also been milled into finer particles and can be added right to the dry ingredients without having to dissolve in water first. This yeast will also give multiple rises like that of active dry yeast. It can be mixed right into your dry ingredients. This means that this type of yeast does not need to be dissolved in water prior to use. This is a dry yeast that was developed by milling down the particles into smaller pieces. Using water that is too warm can kill the yeast. Active dry yeast will require you to dissolve it in warm water (between 105-110F) before using. It is shelf stable and probably the more popular type of yeast to use. It is usually sold in packets or glass jars. This is what is used in this recipe and many other traditional bread recipes.

After much trial and error I have come up with a pretty yummy recipe and I’ll share that with you. Unfortunately most times the bread is only made for special occasions leaving me craving it and without it. The grandmas and aunties at the local churches here on Maui make some of the best sweet bread around. Toast it up and lather a layer of liliko’i butter on it, dip it in to Portuguese bean soup, use it as the bun for miso salmon burgers, or just eat it plain as I like to do sometimes. Soft, fluffy rolls or loaves with just the right amount of sweet. If you’ve never tried these you’re missing out. I thought what better time than now to share one of my favorite bread recipes.PORTUGUESE SWEET BREAD. Speaking of cooking and baking, homemade bread has been all the rage right now.
