Active Dry Yeast is available in strips of three 1/4 -ounce packets and in
4-ounce jars. One 1/4 -ounce packet of active dry yeast is equal in activity
to one 0.6-ounce cake of yeast. Three 1/4 -ounce packets are equal in
activity to one 2-ounce cake of yeast. A 1/4 -ounce packet of active dry
yeast contains approximately 2-1/2 teaspoons; the measurement will not be
exact as yeast is packaged according to weight rather than volume. A packet
of yeast is sufficient to raise 4 cups, approximately 1-pound, of flour.
