How to measure instant yeast
A standard packet of yeast holds 2¼ teaspoons, about 7 grams. Instant and active dry yeast weigh about the same per spoon; active dry yeast traditionally needs dissolving in warm water first.
In the UK, instant yeast is also called fast-action dried yeast or easy-bake yeast.
Weights are for US customary cups (236.6 ml), measured as described above. Measuring style changes weight a lot, so for baking, a digital scale gives the most reliable results.
