It was given to me in French & calls for "1 sachel levure (1 c a 'cafe')". Trying to figure out how much & what kind of yeast that is. Please help! Thanks!

I have no idea how much 30 percent would be though! My recipe calls for regular active dry yeast. Thank! Thank you for responding so quickly! I have no idea how much 30 percent would be though!

I no it says to use the gold pack for sweet rolls but cinnamon rolls don't have alot of sugar in the dough itself. I just found a small pack of this yesterday at a store by us and I was in awe..I can hardly wait to use it and want to make the cinnamon rolls for Christmas! Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the conversion charts. Very helpful! I also wanted to let everyone know that I have had a package of SAF Instant yeast in my refrigerator in a Tupperware container for about 18 months and it still works great! I do not store it at room temperature. Great blog! Thank you for the conversion charts. Very helpful!

The only recipe I have for instant yeast requires no proofing of the dough (bread). I was looking online to find conversions for my other recipes that call for other yeasts. The only thing I haven't found here on your site is talk about the proofing. Do I need to proof my dough that normally calls for it, if I'm converting to instant yeast?
