I was looking at your recipe for the Dutch cheese patties [0] and saw that it asked for food yeast. What is that? Is it the same as regular baking yeast? I couldn't find it in my grocery store and was wondering if I could substitute something else.
Brandy, good question. I guess I was thinking that the recipe meant active dry yeast (like for making bread) as opposed to Brewer's yeast. But I really don't know! I used my normal bread yeast when I made the patties. Now I'm wondering if I did it wrong!
Are there any yeast experts out there who can tell us about the different kinds?! I get my yeast in bulk and I haven't done much experimenting.
