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)
What else can I help you with?
Is instant yeast the same as bread machine yeast?

How many teaspoons of dry yeast in 50 grams of compressed?
17.64 teaspoons of dry yeast are available in 50 grams of compressed.
How much instant yeast 7 grams active dry yeast?
To convert active dry yeast to instant yeast, you need to use 25% less instant yeast. Therefore, if a recipe calls for 7 grams of active dry yeast, you would use around 5.25 grams of instant yeast. This conversion is due to the differences in moisture content and particle size between the two types of yeast. It's important to note that these measurements are approximate and may require slight adjustments based on the specific brand and batch of yeast being used.
Is bread machine yeast the same as instant yeast?
Yes, bread machine yeast and instant yeast are essentially the same type of yeast, both being quick-acting and suitable for use in bread machines.
How long does instant yeast last before it expires?
Instant yeast typically lasts for about 2 years before it expires.
When does instant yeast expire?

What are the different types of yeast used in baking and how do they differ from each other?
There are two main types of yeast used in baking: active dry yeast and instant yeast. Active dry yeast needs to be dissolved in water before using, while instant yeast can be mixed directly into the dough. Instant yeast is faster acting than active dry yeast, so it requires less time for the dough to rise.
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. For anyone interested in working with yeast doughs, Google "yeast conversion" to find a selection of tables that will help you make conversions between dry, compressed, instant and even brewer's yeast.
Recipe calls for 1.5 ounces of compressed yeast what is the equivalent in active 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.

What is a suitable substitute for bread machine yeast?

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.
