Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3.13 tablespoons of active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast = 9g
- 3.13 × 9 = 28.17g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Baking powder loses potency over time. If yours is more than 6 months old, test it: drop a teaspoon into hot water. If it bubbles vigorously, it is still active.
