Im not an experienced baker but ive had experience with instant yeast that would not rise probably because it was old. I had no issues upon first use. I made these bao buns and they came out great. The dough doubled within 40 minutes. This amount of yeast you're getting is a lot. Its packaged tightly and feels like a brick until you cut it open. I stored it in 4 separate 6oz Mason jars and froze all except one jar that im keeping in the fridge to use. Im buying this again once I run out.
