Yeast

Need Help from a bread baker ! I just bought fleshman's yeast by the bulk and it doesn't tell me how much to use instead of the little premeasured ones. The recipe calls for the packages and doesn't say. I like to make the bread by hand instead of a bread machine if that is a help.
Thank you

RE: Yeast

A package is a scant tablespoon. I am sure there is an exact measurement but I don't know it.
I just scoop out a tablespoon as it really doesn't matter if you use more than the recipe calls for. Some times if I am in a hurry for the dough to rise I just double it.
I buy the 2 pound package and it lasts well past the expiration date.
