Perlato instant yeast in a 500 g vacuum-packed brick, for bread, pizza dough, burger buns, sweet rolls and Arabic breads.
A cream-coloured vacuum brick, pinstriped and slightly crinkled, with Perlato in tall orange letters over a sketched still life of loaves, a sheaf of wheat and a stone oven, and an orange ribbon reading instant yeast. Below, the name is repeated in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Russian, Arabic and Chinese, which typically marks a product sold across many markets, with 500 g in the corner. As general background, baker's yeast is commonly described as the yeast commonly used in baking bread and other bakery products, acting as a leavening agent that makes bread rise and become lighter and softer, and salt slows yeast growth more than sugar does. Commonly, instant yeast is mixed straight into the dry flour rather than dissolved first, with the salt kept apart until the dough comes together. Bakers use it for sandwich loaves, khubz and pita, pizza and focaccia, burger and brioche buns, cinnamon rolls, doughnuts and fatayer, adjusting the amount to the proving time. The brick stays hard while sealed. Once cut open, fold it tightly, clip it, and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge, scooping with a dry spoon so moisture does not get in.
