I have this type of yeast, which was a freebie in a foodie magazine.
I have had it in my freezer and it is WAY past the expiry date!
On the 1st proof, it rose...whew!
I weighed and divided it into 7 pieces.
After baking, some oozed.
I tasted one, the texture seems to be good and there was a nice crust.
Breakfast tomorrow : anpan!
Love the fragrance of gardenia (the Japanese call it "kuchinashi").
It is gardenia season here and I have seen some homes with them in their yards.
Are the gardenia blooming where you are?

wow pretty cool you made the bread, I use to love baking different bread products many many years ago. I also found a bread maker but too lazy to bake and I like the shokupan style which Don Quixote carries whole loaf that I can make to my own thickness for about $3. I love the gardenias that is my fave flower and I miss the shrubs at my mom's house. When they bloomed we had 'em everywhere. And yet to buy them it's like $8-10 for about 8 stems. Takai! -N
wow that is expensive N!
Take care.

don't tell me that the freebie is a 1-pounder! we used that (and the gold saf) at the bakery. what memories!
Rowena, no no, it was 10 packets with 3 grams of yeast in each.
Take care!
