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.
A scant tablespoon.
1 teaspoon
2.25 teaspoons = 1 packet of dry yeast
1 (6-ounce) cube or cake of compressed yeast (also know as fresh yeast) = 1 package of active dry yeast 1 package active dry yeast = about 2 1/4 teaspoons = 1/4 ounceTherefore, 1.5 ounces of compressed yeast = 1/16 of an ounce of active dry yeast or 1/4 of the package of active dry yeast.
Not unless the recipe specifically calls for yeast. The baking soda generally does the same thing.
Yes.
no because it won't turn out right.
add equal amounts of baking soda and lemon juice that add up to the amount of yeast that the recipe calls for
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)
It is a foil packet, often 1 tablespoon, of loose yeast. Yeast is also sold in cakes or loafs. or in a jar of loose yeast.
This is my opinion. What they may be referring to is baking soda, or baking powder, both are chemical leavening agents.
It is best to put the yeast in the warm water the recipe calls for and let it sit after stirring until bubbles form on the surface
One package of yeast is 3/4 tablespoon or 2 1/4 teaspoon.
You can find a recipe for a yeast starter somewhere on google if you type in "yeast starter".
