I bake bread a lot so I bought a 2# package of Fleischmanns yeast. In the past I’ve used instant yeast, I guess, but this is granulated. Does this yeast take longer to rise? I use a bread machine to mix the dough but I bake the bread in the oven. The first batch didn’t rise very fast and after baking it smelled very yeasty and seemed a bit doughy. Any comments? I checked the inner temperature and it should have been done.
