Stir in 1 packet of yeast (2-¼ teaspoons); let stand 10 minutes. If the yeast foams to the ½-cup mark, it is active and you may use it in your recipe.

How much yeast do I use for 3 cups of flour? For regular cycle machine us 1/2 teaspoon yeast per cup of flour. For one-hour or express machines the amount may be 2-3X more.
