Hi Andrew,

You don't have to use bread machine yeast when making bread in your machine. I often use regular active dry yeast in my bread machine.

Here is info from Red Star Yeast:
"To use Active Dry Yeast in a bread machine, use 3/4 teaspoon of yeast for each cup of flour and have liquids at 80 degrees F liquids. Active dry yeast is not recommended for use on one-hour or less bread machine cycles."

Here is info from Fleishmann's Yeast:
Can Active Dry Yeast be used in bread machines?
Bread Machine Yeast is a fast-rising yeast specially formulated for bread machines. It is finely granulated to hydrate easily when combined with the flour. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is added to promote good loaf volume and structure. Active Dry Yeast may be used but may not yield optimal results.Bread Machine Yeast is a fast-rising yeast specially formulated for bread machines.

Happy Baking!
