Question
Yeast makes bread rise. There is active dry yeast and instant yeast. Either can be used. They are processed differently and must
be handled differently.
Active dry yeast has been heat treated. The outer layers of cells are dead. Dissolve it in liquid with sugar, called proofing, before
mixing with the other ingredients. This removes the dead cells and activates the yeast.
Instant yeast has been gently dried. Its outer cells are alive. It does not need to be proofed and can be mixed with other
ingredients.

Answer
Active dry yeast has been heat treated, resulting in dead outer cells, and must be proofed in liquid with sugar before mixing with other ingredients. On the other hand, instant yeast has been gently dried, leaving its outer cells alive, and does not need to be proofed before being mixed with other ingredients.
