How to measure active dry yeast

The weight of active dry yeast depends on how it's measured. One cup of active dry yeast weighs approximately 130 grams, but this can vary based on how tightly it's packed, the moisture content, and the specific brand.

For the most accurate results, we recommend using a kitchen scale. If you're using measuring cups, use the spoon-and-level method (spoon the ingredient into the cup and level it off with a straight edge).
