Measuring Tip
Leavener measurements are critical because even small differences affect rise and texture. When possible, weigh active dry yeast rather than relying on volume.
Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

The most accurate way is to weigh active dry yeast on a kitchen scale, especially at small quantities where precision matters most. If measuring by volume, dip the spoon into the container and level it off with a straight edge. Do not tap or shake the spoon, which settles the powder and increases the amount.
Close, but not exactly. The teaspoons to ounces conversion for active dry yeast may vary slightly between brands depending on moisture content and how the ingredient is measured.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A teaspoon of active dry yeast can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
