I tried to set up an account, but encountered several problems. (Such as that my e-mail address is already registered. It can't be as I'm the only one who uses it.) I'll try again later. I'm a webmaster, so understand that all things don't work at all times. I wanted to ask if the dry ingredients for the no-kneed focaccia can be packaged together (to be sold at a non-profit fund raiser). We would mix together the salt, KA flour, instant yeast, and Pizza Dough Flavor, then include directions for making the bread. We are at a high altitude, so would reduce the instant yeast by 25%. The reason I'm asking about this mix is because I read in this blog that the instant yeast has to be refrigerated or frozen. So, would it be unsafe to include in a dry mix for use later? Thanks for your assistance. Please call customer service, 800-827-6836, to get help with your account; it should have worked immediately. They can figure out what's up with that. And sure, so long as you sell the mixes fairly soon after you mix them (and they're baked fairly soon after that), should be fine. The yeast will start working very slowly, and eventually it'll give up if the mix isn't prepared. A better option would be to wrap the yeast in plastic wrap and stick it in the bag with the other ingredients; it'll stay inactive much longer that way. Good luck! PJH
