Question

This question is in regards to the weight of dry ingredients in bread. I have not been able to find weights for salt (kosher and table salt both) based on volume, nor have I been able to find weights of Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast. I prefer to weigh everything in grams but have not found this information. King Arthur does a good job of discussing weights of it's flour on it's website, but does not discuss kosher salt. One example that comes to mind: 1 tsp of Kosher salt is going to be less than 1 tsp of tablesalt. Fleishchmann's does not discuss weights of their yeast on their website, only volume conversions. 

Please help! 

Thanks, 
Craig

Answer

Based on our software from Esha Research, here are the values you are seeking. 

Yeast, active, dry, Fleischamnn’s 1 Teaspoon = 4 g 
Yeast, bakers, 1 Teaspoon = 4 g 
Yeast, baker’s, dry active 1 Teaspoon = 4 g ; 1 pkg. = 7.2 g 

Salt, Kosher, coarse 0.25 Teaspoon = 1.2 g 
Table Salt 0.25 Teaspoon = 1.5 g 

Also, here are some other values you may be interested in: 
Salt weight 1 oz. = 1 ½ tablespoons 
Salt 1 pound = 1 ½ cups 
Yeast, dry ¼ oz. = 1 envelope 
Yeast, dry, regular or instant 1 oz = 3 Tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon 
Yeast, dry, regular or instant 1 pound = 3 1/3 cups 
Yeast, compressed 1 oz = 1 package 

Salt 
1 oz = 1 ½ Tbsp 
2 oz = 3 Tbsp 
3 oz = ¼ cup + 1 ½ tsp 
4 oz = 1/3 cup + 2 tsp 
5 oz = 1/3 cup + 2 Tbsp. 
6 oz. ½ cup + 1 Tbsp. 
7 oz. = 2/3 cup 
8 oz. = ¾ cup 
9 oz = ¾ cup + 2 Tbsp 
10 oz= ¾ cup + 3 Tbsp 
11 oz = 1 cup + 1 Tbsp 
12 oz = 1 cup + 2 Tbsp 
13 oz = 1 ¼ cups 
14 oz = 1 ¼ cups + 1 Tbsp 
15 oz =1 1/3 cups + 1 Tbsp 
16 oz = 1 ½ cups 

Yeast, dry 
1 oz 3 Tbsp + 1 tsp 
2 oz 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp 
3 oz ½ cup + 2 Tbsp 
4 oz 2/3 cup + 1 Tbsp 
5 oz 1 cup + 2 tsp 
6 oz 1 ¼ cups 
7 oz 1 ½ cups 
8 oz 1 2/3 cups 
9 oz 1 ¾ cups + 2 Tbsp 
10 oz 2 cups + 1 Tbsp 
11 oz 2 ¼ cups + 1 Tbsp 
12 oz 2 ½ cups 
13 oz 2 2/3 cups + 1 Tbsp 
14 oz 23/4 cups + 3 Tbsp 
15 oz 3 cups + 2 Tbsp 
16 oz 3 1/3 cups 

Metric equivalents for weights, and measure: 
Weight- 
U.S. Metric 
1 oz 28 g 
3 oz 85 g 
1 1lb (16 oz) 454 g 

Measure- 
U.S. Metric 
1 tsp. 5 mL 
1 Tbsp 15 mL 
¼ cup (4 Tbsp) 60 mL 
½ cup (8 Tbsp) 120 mL 
¾ cup (12 Tbsp) 180 mL 
1 cup (16 Tbsp) 240 mL 

Basic formula used to calculate metric weights: 1 oz = 28.35 g. Resulting figures were rounded to nearest gram and to two decimal places for kilograms. Abbreviations used: oz = ounce; lb = pound; g = gram; kg = kilogram. To change grams to kilograms, move decimal three places to left: e.g., 28 g = 0.028 kg.
