## Questions & Answers

**Q: $80.21 for 4oz? Seems just a little steep.**
A: If you have a local Walmart you can have 4oz jars shipped free of charge from their online website to your nearest Walmart. Costs $4. 67 per jar. You just have to become a member no strings attached. People are paying stupid prices on Amazon for this item, even worse on eBay.... Why?

**Q: Can I use in bread machine?**
A: I use it in my bread machine.

**Q: What country is this from? and why illegal price gouging?! reporting..**
A: It is from Wisconsin. It's a large jar of yeast. I did not find the price to be ridiculous and cannot answer your illegal price gouging comment.

**Q: Can you use this with cookies?**
A: I never heard of using yeast in a cookie recipe! Do you have a recipe that calls for dry yeast in cookies?
If it does, of course use it.

I have used Red Star yeast for decades! We owned several pizza restaurants and it is the only yeast I used! Making dough at home, now, and I had to use another brand (not sure if I can say the brand) but I was not able to get consistent results from one batch to the next. With Red Star, every batch I make, comes out the same, smooth and silky, spins perfectly, nice round crust with the right amount of airiness and bubbles, same with my bread recipes! Highly recommend!
