Use 1.69 tsp of Instant yeast

  • Replace 2.25 tsp of Active dry yeast with 1.69 tsp of Instant yeast.
  • With Instant yeast at room temperature, expect the first rise to take roughly 45 to 60 minutes. Warmer kitchens speed this up; cooler rooms slow it down.
  • Your yeast percentage is 1.01%, which is within the typical bakers percentage range of 0.5 to 2.5%.

Next stepMeasure 1.69 tsp of Instant yeast and add it to your recipe as directed. If using active dry or fresh yeast, proof it in warm water first.
