Sheesh. What do they think is in the sachets?
In general, you can use standard Active Dry Yeast in your
breadmachine. You'll have to check to see how much yeast is in the
sachets they want you to use and measure that much yeast (write it in
the recipe book you use). (The standard sachet has 2.25 teaspoons
(american) in it.)
If the recipes in the book call for the quick-rise yeast sachets you
may need to adjust for that. (I don't know what the adjustment is --
I've only seen the quick rise yeast in the store and never used it.)
I actually buy yeast in 1 pound bags at the food-service supplier and
keep the bag in the freezer.
