How to activate Allinsons Dried Active Yeast

I thought I had a problematic batch of yeast so I returned it to Allinson (The Silver Spoon Company) as faulty. They tested it and even baked a loaf of bread with it. it transpires that Allinsons Dried Active Yeast is unsuitable for breadmakers and needs to be activated first. These instructions are verbatim from Allinson - Jane Johnson; Customer Quality Co-ordinator.

Best recipe review Poorly labelled Allinson 4.4/5 Not sure why but the labelling on this product used to make very clear that it was not suitable for breadmakers, now it just about whispers it. Not Good Guys! Paul R Smith

Chef's notes

Like me, you were probably not aware that this was necessary as I had been using this yeast in our breadmaker for years and years. However, the loaves are much better after following this procedure.
