  • 2 g of fresh yeast =x active dry yeast for neapolitan pizza

    Posted by 4vandu on June 27, 2025 at 02:26

    The recipe for pizza calls for 2 g of fresh yeast. I am working with active dry yeast because the fresh ones are not available. How many grams should i use?

    Thank you,

    Hi Victoria,

    Thank you for your question. To substitute fresh yeast with active dry yeast in your Neapolitan pizza recipe, you can use the following conversion:

    2 g of fresh yeast = approximately 0.66 g of active dry yeast.

    This is because active dry yeast is more concentrated than fresh yeast (you typically use about one-third of the amount).

    Tip: Always dissolve the active dry yeast in a little lukewarm water (not hot) with a pinch of sugar or some flour from the recipe. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it foams, then incorporate it into the dough to ensure proper activation.

    I hope this information helps!
    Best regards.
