What is inactivated yeast?
It is sometimes called "dried yeast". It is yeast that has had all of it's moisture removed (so that it can be stored indefinitely), but becomes active again as soon as it is dissolved in water. It is sort of the opposite of "fresh yeast", but it still gives good results when used in baking. (To use it in cooking, you should always use half of the amount of yeast that's recommended for when using "fresh yeast", since dried yeast is twice as concentrated.)

If a recipe asks for 1 and a half teaspoons of fast action yeast how much fresh yeast should you use?
I haven't tried this yet - maybe this afternoon, but I found this conversion on a site called 'The Gooseberry Fool', so thanks to them. Yeast: The quantity of yeast recommended to raise 225g / 8 oz flour in a standard bread recipe is as follows: * 10g / 1/3 oz fresh yeast, or * 3.5g / 1/8 oz fast-action yeast = 1.5 teaspoons fast-action yeast or * 5g / 1/5 oz dried active yeast = 2 teaspoons dried active yeast Or you could use dried yeast instead! it isn't as firm and people say that it is much easier to use.
