Bread machine yeast is what you are needing, believe it or not. Also, kosher mart sells instant yeast in a 1lb bag, which I love. So, if you plan on doing this a lot, its worth it

So why not proof your active dry yeast and add it to the recipe?

Tried a few and only found active dry yeast. Will try a few more. Thanks.

Regular grocery store will have it.

I want to try this pizza recipe from WaPo. I actually mixed the dough up this morning. I used active dry yeast and just mixed it in with the other dry ingredients. A quick internet search (after the fact - argh) reveals that active dry yeast should always be mixed with water before using. So now I guess I need to throw the dough out and try to make it again with instant yeast. Anyone know what I can buy it in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase/Kensington area? Thanks.
