I’ve just made gluten free bread with fresh yeast and it rose better than with the dried yeast. It is gluten, not yeast, that needs a second prove (rise). Some brands of dried yeast are not always reliable, this was said to me by a baker when I asked him what type of yeast he used.
Keep up the good work. Good information helps us to be more capable and creative.

The asker didn’t ask what yeast is, or what the different kinds of yeast are, etc. she simply asked what kind of yeast is best for gluten-free baking. I can’t even see where that question was answered and don’t care to skim literature on the history of yeast to double check.

Here’s the recipe: http://blog.julesglutenfree.com/2009/08/gluten-free-flour-tortillas/ If you really want a gluten-free “bread,” though, I’d highly suggest you make your own. I have a fantastic yeast-free GF bread recipe that you’ll love if you’re craving bread. It’s in my book, Free for All Cooking – do you have that book?

Is there a bread product out there for me?

It is a different animal altogether, so-to-speak. I like adding nutritional yeast to other dishes for enhanced nutrition and taste, though.

Try first letting your breads rise more slowly and gently. If that doesn’t work, switch from rapid rise to regular instant yeast.
