PRESERVING YEAST

To extend the life of baking yeast, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 months past the expiration date.

If you do not use baking yeast very often, you can also keep it in the freezer for up to one year past the expiration date.

The expiration date is clearly marked on the packaging of the baking yeast when you buy it.

If you are going to freeze it, place the baking yeast in a tightly sealed plastic container.

Make sure that you bring it back to room temperature before using if you freeze it.
