Hi Rach - wow - that is awesome you make bread by hand..one of these days I am going to try it. I looked in the book about active dry yeast vs. instant. It says you may substitute active dry yeast for the instant yeast called for in our recipes without making any changes in the amount....If a recipe using instant yeast calls for dough to "double in size, about 1 hours," you may want to mentally add 15-20 minutes on to this time if you're using active dry yeast. I checked the date on my active yeast..expired in October - I usually use the rapid rise - lol. I hope this answers your q - now that I know you make bread by hand, I will look up some recipes to post for you :-) Enjoy your night.
