Thanks

Thanks maxwell.inc.I don't know what brand sachetit is, recipe just says 1 sachet of yeast it's a muffin recipe, my local supermarket does not stock any yeast sachets, I do have Active yeast so want to substitute.there is 4,&1/2 cups of flour, in recipe I'm guessing at least 1TB ? active yeast.

96 grams? are you sure thats not the net weight of the whole box?! my JAR of tasti yeast isnt even that heavy!

I'd go 1.5 teaspoons (not T = Tablespoon)

I would use 1 1/2 teaspoon yeast too. (That is usually how much yeaast my recipes seem to say to use)

I would hazard that amount of cups flour would be about equal to 600gm flour and my breadmaker says to use 3tsp yeast for that amount of flour.
If I remember from the last time I had those satches they are approx 3 tsps.
