Known as “Type 45,” this ultra-fine flour is milled to perfection.

Its ability to create a tender crumb and smooth dough ensures your baking achieves a professional finish every time. 

Individually wrapped mini-blocks of 42g slow-acting French fresh yeast from l’Hirondelle are ideal for baking fresh bread, baguettes, brioche, pastries such as croissants, pizza dough, and other yeast-based recipes. This fresh yeast, created in 1895 and used by multiple generations of bakers, is gluten-free, Halal, and Kosher certified. Can be used in bread machine as well.  

Freezing fresh yeast: Fresh yeast can be frozen; it is best to freeze it as soon as it is received. It should be wrapped well in clingfilm and placed in an airtight container to protect it from excess moisture in the freezer and used within 3 months. The yeast can be used after 3 months but may become a little less effective. In this case, the amount used in the recipe may need to be increased slightly to compensate for this. Fresh yeast softens when it’s defrosted, sometimes it even becomes gooey or straight-up liquid so if you use frozen yeast, you should add it directly to your dough mix as it will melt very quickly when in contact with liquids.
