Yeast is an exceptional, tiny and fragile living microorganism. At Lesaffre, we don’t just produce yeast for bread, we cultivate it. What yeast lacks in size, it more than makes up for in fermentation strength and characteristics. Feeding on the sugars in flour, it expels carbon dioxide, filling thousands of balloon-like bubbles in the dough. This causes the bread to rise, achieving its airy texture.
Baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) comes in a variety of forms: liquid cream, compressed, dried or frozen. Lesaffre is Australia’s leading yeast manufacturer and can guide you to the ready-to-use or customisable solution to suit your specific bakery needs.

Whatever you’re baking, here’s how you can go about choosing the right yeast.
