Please help I have an urgent stollen and yeast question......

[TooTickyDoves]

.......My recipe says "one envelope of dried active yeast" for around 10oz flour.
I am using approx 40oz flour and quick yeast...how much do I need????

Very many thanks in advance and desperate hope

pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease

Not sure if this will help or confuse but I made mine with 350g flour and 4tea sppons of yeast...

oh oh oh this will help - one envelope of dried yeast is 3 tea spoons!
so you must need 12 tea spoons of yeast

Oh thank you!!!!!

12 sounds like a lott
Don't you have to deduct some as you multiply up?

no idea about deducting when multipying sorry!
perhaps just guestimate at somewhere between 3 and 12 lol

thank you yes, something between 3 and 12 sounds just right

given your name, you must be right

What did you go with??

I stopped at the just-befiore-the-yeast stage and went out. Now I am back and must decide.

hopeful bump

2pt4WiseMen said she made hers with 350g flour and 4tea spoons of yeast, I guess it must of worked or she'd have said so...

How about 41/2 tsps?

hmm...don't know if that would be enough. I think it's probably around 8 tsps but I don't know so I am stalling... [indecisive]

Huum I'm little help I think, for bread Delia () says 2 tsp dried yeast for 450g flour...

Hope you get some help soon

Well, I have done it. I used 28 grammes after consulting many websites

Thanks

Ooooh, fingers crossed!

I hope it all works out...

ok for next time, you don't double the yeast. 1tbsp will usually suffice for most quantities. so keep a close eye on it, there may be mucho rising! hopefully 28g is not so much that it will taste overly yeasty, i think one of those sachets is about 7g?

oh god now you tell me!! Ithought ithere was something like that

Still, 40oz flour is quite a lot, isn't it? And it is not all being baked in one lump... oh heck.

And? Are they ok?

she has been engulfed by a tide of puffy stollen dough.....

I fear so

they seem okay so far, will be going in the oven shortly
(them not me)

Thank goodness

phew for clarity, 1tbsp will do up to 8 loaves.

Actually, yeast is very interesting stuff...

Or maybe I'm just very dull...
