Yeast: The quantity of yeast recommended to raise 225g / 8 oz flour in a standard bread recipe is as follows: * 10g / 1/3 oz fresh yeast, or * 3.5g / 1/8 oz fast-action yeast = 1.5 teaspoons fast-action yeast or * 5g / 1/5 oz dried active yeast = 2 teaspoons dried active yeast Or you could use dried yeast instead! it isn't as firm and people say that it is much easier to use.
