One of the biggest markups in home baking is for those little individual packets of yeast. This package will last the casual home baker for a loooong time! You can freeze half, and keep the other half in a mason jar in the fridge. :) Each packet of the individual yeast contains 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast, so all you do is scoop out that much when you're making a recipe that calls for a packet. I've had zero complaints or issues with my bread or pizza dough rising. Give it a try!
