Active dry yeast is granulated yeast that needs to be dissolved in warm liquid before mixing into dough. One metric cup (250 ml) of active dry yeast weighs around 150 grams or 5.29 ounces. Most recipes call for it by the teaspoon, where one teaspoon weighs about 3 grams; a 7 g sachet covers a single loaf of bread.
