If a recipe asks for 1 and a half teaspoons of fast action yeast how much fresh yeast should you use?

In: Baking

I haven't tried this yet - maybe this afternoon, but I found this conversion on a site called 'The Gooseberry Fool', so thanks to them.

Yeast: The quantity of yeast recommended to raise 225g / 8 oz flour in a standard bread recipe is as follows:

  • 10g / 1/3 oz fresh yeast, or
  • 3.5g / 1/8 oz fast-action yeast = 1.5 teaspoons fast-action yeast or
  • 5g / 1/5 oz dried active yeast = 2 teaspoons dried active yeast
