1.5 teaspoons granulated yeast for a 2lb. loaf, if you are making white bread.

usually 1.5 teaspoons yeast, per 3.5c. flour.

!00% Whole Wheat and Dark Breads such as Pumpernickel use more, to force rising, so do research first on those breads before baking them.

Can you substitute all purpose flour for bread flour?

If you add wheat gluten to your recipe, maybe a tbsp or so (depending on how much flour? tbsp per 1 or 2 cups of flour?), that will serve as a substitute. Most often you can get good results with the substitution. Bread flour has more gluten and thus holds more CO2 from the yeast to make fluffier breads.

It can be used, although not with very tasty results.
