Red Star Active Dry Yeast and Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast are the same
and either may be used in the same quantities. If you are discussing Bread
Machine Yeast or Rapid Rise or Quick Rise (names used for various yeast
products in Fleischmann's and Red Star), you need to refer to the web site
for Red Star and Fleischmann's to determine if the quantities are
interchangeable between the two company products. Beyond the yeast products
already mentioned, there are also two instant yeast products available from
an additional company--SAF. I recommend that you visit the web sites of the
various yeast companies to find out what yeast you are using and which yeast
is being recommended your particular bread machine cookbook.
