Yes, I tried recently with instant yeast and experimented with different forms and temperatures. I ended up with something that I like better than those I buy at the store and it reminds me of my grandmother.

My only "problem" is that instant yeast is not literally instant so it requires making the dough a few hours before baking. I know the dough can be kept a few days in a fridge, and I could prepare some in advance, but I'm not there yet.

    Yeah instant yeast is kind of a misnomer. It really means you can add it directly to the mixture instead of blooming it. Once you get your groove, you'll get the timing down. It's like doing laundry. You do a few minutes of work and then let the dough do it's thing for a while. Just remember time equals flavor.

    I have a few times and it absolutely destroyed my insides, caused massive stomach annoyances and made me shit like crazy. I'm sure homemade is fine, but whatever that plastic shiny bread-imitation junk corporations like dempsters make, should be banned
