<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I got into quite a lengthy conversation with the Red Star yeast people and what they told me is that their yeast is dried on molasses whereas some brands of yeast are dried on wheat. I live up in the state of Maine and we can get Red Star at Sams Club, I dont know if that will help you any.In any case, here is the no. for Red Star 1-800-423-5422. Call them and they will send you an order form for Red Star yeast and also some GF bread recipes, the latest is they are coming out with 6 brand new recipes. They recommended the toastmaster machine to me which I love and dont hesitate to call them if you have problems with your bread, they are very helpful. We're getting out our winter coats up here!!!!Janet in Maine
