When a recipe says 2 packages of yeast, how many spoons does it equal to? Does this apply to all yeast types?

The only yeast available in my country is the Saf-Instant (Instant yeast at the form of powder-actually very small granules). Is it the same as the one in the package?When a recipe says 2 packages of yeast, how many spoons does it equal to? Does this apply to all yeast types?
Those little packets (active dry yeast) contain a little less than one-and-a-half teaspoons of yeast (5/16 of an ounce). So, if your recipe calls for 2 packages, that's just about 3 teaspoons.





I think most, if not all, packaged active dry yeast are packaged the same way, volume-wise. But sometimes you'll find those packages that have ';20 percent more free!'; or something. Those are best for flours that are harder (more difficult to rise), such as whole what flour. They require more leavening agent, or else they'll be too flat.





Your best bet is to err on the side to too much yeast, rather than too little.When a recipe says 2 packages of yeast, how many spoons does it equal to? Does this apply to all yeast types?
I have a bit of experience baking bread especially. Normally, if you prepare a starter 24 hr before, you only need a pinch of dried yeast. If you are baking on the same day, you need to calculate 10-15 grams of yeast for each 450 gr of flour. Normally, the flour type you can most commonly find these days is very rich in gluten, which is the protein of wheat that allows the dough to rise. Never use the self-rising - do not put too much yeast because your bread will be indigestible + will tend to become very tough once it's cooled down.
