How to Measure Yeast
Yeast is used in small quantities — typically 1 to 2¼ teaspoons per recipe. A standard packet of yeast contains 7 grams (2¼ teaspoons). For home bakers, measuring by packet is the most convenient and accurate method.
When measuring from bulk yeast, use level teaspoon measurements. One teaspoon of active dry yeast weighs 4 grams. Use the calculator above to convert any amount — especially useful for large-batch commercial baking that calls for yeast by weight.
Pro tip: Store bulk yeast in an airtight container in the freezer to extend its shelf life for up to 2 years. Always proof active dry yeast in warm water (105-115°F / 40-46°C) before using to confirm it is still active.
