Atach a dough hook to the mixer & process, adding a little flour if necessary, for 5 minutes. (If not using a dough hook, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface & knead 10 minutes, until smooth & elastic.) Transfer to a greased bowl; cover tightly & refrigerate. Punch the dough down every hour for3 or 4 hours or until dough is completely chilled. Use immediately or refrigerate up to 5 days.

Ruthieg - Thanks so much for checking. I couldn't find it either. Tried a recipe this weekend that came out tasting a lot like Sister Shubert's yeast rolls (that you can buy frozen), which I'll take as a success, but not quite the taste I'm after! Maybe it's some weird preservative they use being a commercial baker. The local Hartz people won't tell. Thanks again

King Arthur Flour pretty much sums up what I've heard. That is that you definitely can substitute (after all, yeast is yeast) and although some suggest you need to use a different amount, KA says what I've heard from a number of sources. It's not really worth changing the amounts. Experiment if you want to though. Don't let me stop you! Here's an excerpt: "You may substitute active dry yeast for the instant yeast called for in our recipes without making any changes in the amount; if the recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of instant yeast, use 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast. (The official word on instant yeast is that you can use 75% the amount of instant yeast to replace active dry yeast in a recipe, but we never bother with the conversion; we find it all tends to even out in the end.)" Did you know yeast will keep birds from nesting in horses' manes? "Yeast is yeast and nest is nest and never the mane shall tweet". (Oh go groan somewhere else!)
