I always use the Dove yeast - works fine for me in a panny bread machine. I
use about 1 tablespoon for a 1.5lb loaf. I previously tried the Allinson
sachets and found they didn't rise much.

Just goes to show that other factors such as water hardness, amounts of
salt and sugar etc are just as important.
