I was able to get a 4 ounce jar of Red Star ADY over the weekend from Whole Foods and saw that envelopes of yeast are available (in my area) from Amazon Fresh. I have an online friend in Canada (Toronto area) and she told me she can't find yeast anywhere. The 4 ounce jar cost $7.99 which is more than a pound of SAF from KA.
If I am not mistaken, I believe Kellogg believed in a vegetarian diet and the cornflakes were developed to give people an alternate to the fat laden breakfasts that were typical of the time.
I avoided what was to me, the obvious choice and eliminated 2 other choices because I didn't think they had much iron at all (which I was wrong about) and so was able to make the correct selection.
You all are welcome. I didn't think about looking for yeast, I was so excited to get 20 pounds of flour. I have a pound that I bought last Autumn and about 3 ounces left from my open container. I'm also using the "use less yeast" method for my usual bread so I will be ok for a while.
I was just browsing the KAF site, to my delight Bread Flour and Whole Wheat 5 pound bags are available right now, limit of 2 each. Did I place an order? The site was slow but yes I did!
