Yeast, compressed

Compressed yeast are small cakes of fresh yeast that unlike dry yeast contain active live yeasts cells.  This yeast must stay refrigerated and should be used within a week or two of purchase.  If you need to store your yeast for longer periods of time select active dry yeast.

1 envelopes (2 1/4 tsp) dry yeast
1 envelopes (2 1/4 tsp) bread machine yeast

.06-oz cake compressed yeast = 1/4-oz pkg dry
2 oz cake = equal to 3 (1/4-oz) pkgs dry
