when using dry yeast, do you proof the yeast first? I have never added it directly to a recipe, always in warm water first with sugar?

Hi Andi – Yes, you can add it directly to the flour. You can proof the yeast first if you prefer that method.
More information can be found here, in the ‘usage’ tab: https://redstaryeast.com/red-star-products/red-star-active-dry-yeast/
Happy baking!

I have been making this bread recipe since the 1960’s I believe. It’s always a hit. Just for grins I decided to see if it was on the red star website and here it is. I love this recipe and it is always a hit.

p.s. you can add richer flavor to this herb bread if you add the dry herbs to the onion butter saute instead of mixing them with the flour. Then continue on with the recipe

this recipe has been a family favorite since it appeared on the Red Star yeast package…and is a new favorite with the next generation! Just an aside: the first time I made this bread, we skipped the meal and ate just the bread…yes, it’s that good.

can you give the measurements of a two quart casserole please? I have numerous bowls, not sure which one is correct.

Hi Peggy,
It depends on the shape and depth of your dish. A square 2 quart dish is about 9×9-inches. Check the bottom of the dish – it usually states the size.

Happy baking!

I have been looking for this recipe ever since 1975, when I found it on a yeast pkg, made it for thanksgiving dinner & loved it, but lost the recipe!

So glad you publish these things – Thank you!
(Going to share it with my older sister – she’s never heard of “no-knead” yeast bread)
