Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.74 ounces of active dry yeast
- Convert ounces to grams: 0.74 × 28.35 = 20.98g
- 1 cup of active dry yeast = 144g
- 20.98g ÷ 144g/cup = 0.15 cups × 16 = 2.33 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
