I'm diving into the world of gluten-free baking and wondering about the best yeast to use for banana bread. Does anyone have a preferred brand or type that consistently gives good results? Would really appreciate your recommendations!

For gluten-free banana bread, you can use instant yeast or active dry yeast, and both can give great results. A popular brand that many gluten-free bakers trust is Red Star, which offers both instant and active dry options. Another great choice is Saf-Instant Yeast, known for its reliability and consistent performance. Just make sure to check the expiration date on the package to ensure freshness for the best rise in your bread. Happy baking!

Awesome question! For gluten-free banana bread, I recommend using instant yeast or active dry yeast—both work great! They help the bread rise nicely without any gluten. Just make sure to check your flour blend; a good one will have xanthan gum for extra structure!
