Weird results with a bread recipe

I switched over to instant yeast a few years ago. At the end of every year, I buy a pound of instant yeast (usually SAF), put it in a Rubbermaid container and keep it in the fridge. It will last me a year, depending on how much baking I do. It's so much cheaper to just buy a pound of the stuff and instant yeast is so much easier to work with. No big worries about the liquid temperatures being just so. You can still kill instant yeast if your liquid is way too hot, but you don't have to worry so much about temperature.

It is the best yeast for daily baking especially when you combine it with the no knead recipes.
