Dough Science & Fermentation Guide

7 grams is the exact dry yeast content of a standard commercial yeast sachet in the United States and Canada (such as Fleischmann’s or Red Star 1/4-ounce packets). In volume, 7 grams of active dry or instant yeast equals exactly 2 1/4 teaspoons (2.25 tsp, or 0.75 tablespoons).

One 7g packet is engineered to leaven up to 4 cups (500 grams) of all-purpose or bread flour, sufficient for 1 to 2 standard sandwich bread loaves or two 12-inch pizza crusts.
