Hi,

Here's the scoop on yeast measurements.

According to the folks at Red Star Yeast:
One 2 ounce cake of baker's yeast is equal to three 1/4 ounce packages of 
active or instant active dry yeast.

According to Peter Reinhardt's book, The Baker's Apprentice:
One 1/4 ounce package of instant active yeast contains 2 1/4 teaspoons.
One 1/4 ounce package of active yeast contains 2 1/2 teaspoons.

Hope that helps.  Any questions drop me an email.

Happy Baking

Don Bischoff
