how many teaspoons in a yeast packet
Best Answer: 1/4 oz is roughly one tablespoon (3 teaspoons), but the amount of yeast you put in a bread recipe is not that critical. If you under-estimate the amount of yeast, it will take longer for the yeasts to proliferate and the bread to rise, but you'll still get a good bread. Red Star Yeast company says that one packet of 1/4 oz yeast has 2 and 1/4 teaspoons of yeast.
