Wine yeast to make bread?

[SarzWix]

Having run out of bread, and bread yeast, I thought we were doomed to eating flat-bread for the next few days. But then remembered we had a tub of wine yeast in the back of the fridge, so I thought I'd give it a go... Anyone done that? I wasn't sure whether to treat it as express yeast and just do one rise, or ordinary yeast and punch it back. I went for the former, and added a VitC tablet for good measure, thinking that I'll be lucky if it works at all never mind expecting it to work twice

Fingers crossed something edible comes out of it...

I don't see why it wouldn't work, may take a bit longer to prove though and taste a bit didferent to usual. Let me know how it turns out

Looking good there Sarz,nice texture does it taste any different to "normal" yeast ?

[Bren In Pots]

Looks a nice loaf with a good crumb.

No, just tastes like wholemeal/granary bread
