Instant Dry Yeast for Self-Rising Flour

ART-BK-012 is an instant dry yeast format selected for incorporation into self-rising flour, bakery premixes, pizza flour bases, and dry dough systems where yeast must remain stable during storage yet activate rapidly during mixing. It is a free-flowing, cream to light tan granular yeast with typical moisture of 5.0-6.5% and high viable cell activity, commonly specified at approximately 5×10^10 CFU/g when tested at production release. The ingredient is intended for direct addition to flour without separate rehydration, helping simplify high-throughput scaling, automated dosing, and multi-site formulation control.

For flour mills and bakery manufacturers, the key performance requirement is compatibility with dry carriers, oxidants, salt, sugar, emulsifiers, and leavening aids used in self-rising systems. Recommended inclusion depends on flour strength, target proof time, sugar level, processing temperature, and whether the dough is baked fresh or held frozen. Procurement teams can source this item within our baking yeast portfolio and request a bulk quote for container, pallet, or recurring production programs.

• Self-rising flour and bakery premixes: dry blended with wheat flour, salt, raising agents, dough conditioners, and minor ingredients for controlled bakery or foodservice use.
• Industrial bread production: suitable for straight-dough and no-time processes where rapid dispersion, consistent fermentation power, and predictable proofing are required.
• Frozen dough and par-baked lines: can be used in formulations where the yeast dosage is adjusted for freeze stress, thaw time, and post-thaw fermentation targets.
• Pizza and flatbread plants: supports standardized dough development for sheeted, pressed, or hand-stretched formats, including central commissary operations.
• Pastry, laminated dough, and sweet baked goods: applicable where controlled yeast lift is required alongside sugar, fat, and emulsified ingredient systems; pilot trials are recommended for high-sugar doughs.

Store unopened 25 kg multi-wall sacks in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse, ideally below 25°C and away from direct sunlight, steam lines, washdown zones, and high-humidity areas. Under recommended storage conditions, typical shelf life is up to 24 months from production date; actual remaining shelf life is confirmed on the lot-specific certificate or label. After opening, reseal the sack or transfer the yeast to a clean, dry, food-grade container and use promptly to limit moisture uptake and activity loss.

In production, add instant dry yeast directly to flour or the dry premix stream and avoid direct contact with concentrated salt solutions, hot water, or aggressive chemical leavening components before dilution. For self-rising flour packed for downstream users, validate water activity, packaging barrier, headspace, and distribution temperature. Bakery R&D teams should run bench and plant trials to set dosage against proof time, dough temperature, flour protein, and finished volume requirements.

ART-BK-012 is supplied for food manufacturing use with lot traceability and specification support. Typical procurement documents may include certificate of analysis, technical data sheet, allergen statement, food-grade declaration, non-GMO statement where applicable, and safety data information. Microbiological, moisture, and activity parameters are verified according to the agreed product specification and sampling plan. HACCP-aligned manufacturing controls and food-safety system documentation such as ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher status can be provided where available for the relevant production lot or facility.

ArtemisYeast supports specification review for multinational bakery groups, private-label flour blenders, distributors, and commissary networks. Buyers can request packaging photos, pallet configuration, country-of-origin details, and export documentation during quotation.
