Active Dry Yeast – grams to cups
Yeast is a living organism. While standard packets (7g) are convenient, many artisanal bread recipes call for tiny amounts (1-2g) for long fermentation. Teaspoons are inaccurate for these micro-doses. Weighing yeast gives you total control over your bread's fermentation schedule.

FAQ
- Active Dry vs. Instant Yeast?
- Active Dry granules are larger (lighter by volume) and need water activation. Instant is finer (denser) and goes straight into flour. By weight (grams), you can swap them 1:1, but Active Dry will take a bit longer to rise.
