Fresh compressed yeast has half of the rising power of dry. You can cut the amount in the recipe by half or double it depending on what you have and what the recipe calls for. (Note: Most cookbooks for home use refer to dry yeast for recipes unless otherwise stated in the recipe or Preface)

How much dry yeast do you need for 4 ounces of fresh yeast?
This would be a tricky calculation to make, (and please note these are American measurements.) Compressed yeast comes in 2 oz. cakes, which can be divided equally into 3 parts, with each part equal to one packet of yeast. One packet = 2 1/4 teaspoons. As a rule of thumb, one packet of dry yeast is enough to raise about 4 cups of flour.

What is instant yeast?
Instant yeast is another type of dry yeast that was introduced after active dry yeast in the 1970s. It is made using a similar process as active dry yeast, although is dried more quickly. As you can see, this yeast is also milled into finer particles. Because of this, it dissolves faster and activates quickly. But unlike active dry yeast, instant yeast doesn't have to be proofed first; it can be mixed straight into the dry ingredients with the same result. This yeast also gives you two separate rises and it can be used interchangeably with active dry yeast.
