  • About
Formulas using fresh yeast, also known as baker’s yeast or compressed yeast, can be converted to dry yeast by using the following factor:
  • FROM FRESH YEAST TO ACTIVE DRY: For each pound of fresh yeast, use .4 pound of active dry yeast (this yeast must be dissolved in water before incorporating it into dough). For each ounce of fresh yeast, use .4 ounce of active dry yeast.
  • FROM FRESH YEAST TO INSTANT YEAST: For each pound of fresh yeast, use .33 pound dry yeast (this yeast can be included, without first dissolving it, with the other ingredients in the dough). For each ounce of fresh yeast, use .33 ounce of instant dry yeast.
