Absolutely not. However, you may replace the yeast if you modify the way you prepare the recipe. Rapid rise yeast does not require as much rising and kneading as does traditional yeast. In fact, rapid rise yeast eliminates the need for the "first rise" that traditional yeast calls for. Therefore, if you replace rapid rise yeast with traditional yeast, you will have to let your dough rise, punch it down, and then form your bread (or whatever) and let it rise again before baking. Also, the proportions of yeast are different. Multiply the amount of rapid rise yeast by 1.25 for the equivalent of traditional yeast.

Is quick rise yeast the same as rapid rise yeast?
Rapid rise yeast is a very active strain of yeast allows you to make bread with only one rise. Bread machine yeast is also a type of dry yeast is highly active but it is very finely granulated so that it hydrates quickly. Breads made with this yeast also require only a single rise.
If the recipe calls for 1 packet of yeast how much do you use out of a bulk package?
Just use one packet of whatever you have - all of the packets contain the same amount. Active Dry Yeast, Instant Yeast, Rapid Rise Yeast, Fast Rising Yeast or Bread Machine Yeast are all the same. They just have different names. If your yeast is in a jar - use one level teaspoon.
Can you use beer instead of active dry yeast when baking bread?
It would depend on the beer, but probably not. Beer yeast and bread yeast are not the same. Most beer is pasteurized, which means the yeast will have been killed off. If you have a home brew, or an unfiltered beer, you may be able to get the bread to rise, but I would doubt it. That would make it good and better than dry yeast.

No, cornmeal and yeast are used for baking, but they are not the same. Yeast is actually a bacteria an is used to make things like bread dough rise. And Cornmeal is used like a flour, to make corn muffins and corn meal mush. To get straight and a shorter answer, NO they are not the same they are basically opposites.
How yeast makes bread soft?
yeast makes the bread rise, expanding the air in the dough. The density of the dough basically stays the same, but the 'softness' is actually the air formed by the yeasts waste (CO2)
Does fast acting yeast really reduce cooking time?
It isn't the cooking time that's reduced. It's the time for the dough to rise. "Fast-Acting" yeast causes the dough to rise a little bit faster (it's usually advertised as being one-half of regular but I haven't found that to be the case). Once the dough has risen, the baking time is just the same for either regular or fast-acting yeast. I stopped using fast-acting yeast because it didn't seem like I got the same "rise" (ie, air infusion into the dough) that I got with regular yeast and the amount of rising time wasn't shortened enough to make the compromise worth it.
Is yeast in bread different then yeast in donuts?
