dried yeast / fresh yeast?

misspenny

i have been experimenting with using my breadmaked dough setting to make up recipies other than those that came with the breadmaker as with an active 18 month old i find kneeding quite time consuming, i wonder if this will have any effect

Hi all

Sorry if this has been asked before but I managed to get some fresh yeast from my local tesco (for free :j ) and I have no idea how much to use for 1lb of flour

I usually use 1 tsp of dried yeast in my recipe.

Please can anyone advise me ?

Also, how long will it keep for in the fridge please?

Many thanks

Pink.

Hi Frugal,

There's an earlier thread that should help so I've added your post to it.

I have a recipe that calls for fresh yeast, but I only have dried - is it possible to substitute, and if so, with how much?

Thanks in advance :beer:

To substitute dry yeast for fresh yeast, reduce the amount called for in the recipe by half.

I am about to make some bread and the recipe requires 20g of fresh yeast. I only have dried yeast but am unsure of how much to use. Can anyone help please?

I use the dried yeast...
But its the little sachets, that I use. I use one.
I think there is about 7 or 8 grams in each sachet, depending on brand.

Half as much.
