Be careful to follow the package directions for the appropriate temperature of the liquid that will make the yeast active. Older recipes sometimes refer to a "large" cake of yeast; that is equivalent to all three packets.

Cake yeast and dry yeast are both types of yeast used in baking, but they differ in their effectiveness. Cake yeast is fresh and contains more moisture, making it more active and faster-acting than dry yeast. Dry yeast, on the other hand, has a longer shelf life and is more convenient to store and use. In general, cake yeast is considered to be more effective in baking due to its freshness and quick activation, while dry yeast is more practical for long-term storage and use.

What are the differences between active dry yeast and rapid rise yeast, and how do they affect the baking process?
Active dry yeast and rapid rise yeast are two types of yeast used in baking. The main difference between them is that active dry yeast needs to be dissolved in water before use, while rapid rise yeast can be mixed directly into the dry ingredients. In terms of the baking process, active dry yeast typically requires a longer rise time compared to rapid rise yeast. This is because active dry yeast needs time to activate and ferment, resulting in a slower rise. On the other hand, rapid rise yeast contains additives that help it rise more quickly, making it ideal for recipes that require a shorter rise time. Overall, the choice between active dry yeast and rapid rise yeast depends on the recipe and the desired outcome. Active dry yeast is better suited for recipes that require a longer fermentation process, while rapid rise yeast is convenient for recipes that need a quicker rise.
Can you use dried active yeast instead of fast action yeast?
