Platinum Instant Sourdough Whole Wheat Challah | Not just for Jewish holidays, challah is a showstopper at any dinner table. This traditional braided loaf is enriched with butter and is 50% whole wheat, making it a healthier choice and increasing it's nutty complexity. Find recipe at redstaryeast.com.
Platinum Instant Sourdough Boule | Sourdough without homemade sourdough starter sounds impossible, but this recipe and its revolutionary ingredient—Red Star Platinum Instant Sourdough Yeast—guarantees it. With dried sourdough starter mixed with high-powered yeast, this sourdough boule skips the starter without missing any flavor. For a bit of variety, we swap our round Dutch oven and boule shape for an elongated oval. Find recipe at redstaryeast.com.
Meyer Lemon Danish Loaves | This zesty recipe will brighten up even the chilliest winter morning. We packed the pillowy dough with Meyer lemon zest and topped it off with cream cheese and Meyer Lemon Curd for a cozy loaf that’s sure to warm your soul. Find recipe at redstaryeast.com.
