admin I am relatively new to baking, but I got a really good bread recipe the other day, and it calls for bread machine yeast or something like that. I don’t have a bread machine, if I do it by hand will it not turn out?
Baking bread successfully can be done without a bread maker. Your bread recipe was intended to be used in one. There is quite a difference in bread machine yeast and regular yeast (see my source) I would substitute Regular Active Dry Yeast. Then when you have mixed all the ingredients, dump it out onto a well floured surface. Shape your dough into a ball and place in a larger bowl that has been coated on the inside with shortening. I find this step is easier if you sprinkle the dough with flour before shaping as the dough tends to stick to your hands otherwise. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and set in a very warm place to rise until it has doubled in size. Coat the inside of your baking pan with shortening. Punch down and knead your dough for a couple of minutes. Shape the dough into a shape that will fit your pan and place it into the baking pan, cover again, let rise until doubled again, then bake as directed.
I frequently buy the bread machine mixes and use them without a bread machine. There are directions on the package to use if you don’t have one and they come in a variety of types; regular white, rye, sourdough, cinnamon, cheese and onion. They all work well for me.

No, reg. yeast is fine. The only diff in "bread machine yeast" and packets is that "BM yeast" is in a jar and you have to measure it w/ teaspoons. Packets are already pre-measured. (1 pkt = 2¼ tsp.)
