I have a Yeast Affection....
Every package or bottle of yeast claims to be "Active".
Is there any yeast that not active?
It has been recommended that I look for "Instant Active Dry Yeast".
I have seen combinations of all words and then some.
"For bread machines", is the latest one I have found.
So confused.
Other than having to activate in warm milk or add directly to the mix, does it really matter?

In short, "Though there are some minor differences in shape and nutrients, Rapid-Rise Yeast is (pretty much) the same as Instant Yeast and Bread Machine Yeast. "
At my level of baking, it probably does not make much difference between the three but I wonder if anyone has found much difference.
Apparently, my original guess holds that it may not make any difference.
Much ado about nothing....
Thank you...
