How do I use Fresh Active Yeast?
Fresh Active Yeast is the product that Fleischmann's has been manufacturing for over 130 years. It is also traditionally known as compressed or cake yeast. It has not undergone the drying process, so it does not need to be dissolved before use: soften the cake in warm water first OR simply crumble the yeast into dry ingredients (if directed by recipe). Fresh yeast requires two rises. Yeast is available in two different sizes: 0.6 ounces and 2 ounce household cakes
How do I substitute dry yeast for Fresh Active Yeast?
One .6 ounce cake is equivalent to 1 envelope of dry yeast. One 2-ounce cake is equivalent to three envelopes of dry yeast. Follow the directions on the package recommended for the type of yeast you substitute.
How much dry yeast is in 1/4 ounce envelope?
About 2 1/4 teaspoons.

∙ 13y agoOne packet of dry yeast is usually something called "easy bake yeast" or "easy blend yeast" - it has added stabilisers, which means that when substituting it for fresh yeast, you should only use 1/3 of the quantity. (You may also need to adjust rising time - easy blend only requires one rise).
When substituting dried (non easy blend) yeast for fresh yeast cakes, you only use half the quantity that the recipe gives for fresh yeast.
So, one packet of dry yeast is probably the equivalent of one yeast cake, but weight for weight they are not the same.

You can measure a gram of yeast without a scale quite easily. Instead of a scale you can use a teaspoon. One teaspoon of yeast is equivalent to 4 grams, so simply take a teaspoon of yeast and use a knife to divide it into 4 and then you will have one gram.
