Quick-rising yeast works in about half the time required for regular yeast. Also available in fresh cakes. A two ounce (60 g) cake, or compressed yeast is the equivalent of 1 tablespoon active dry yeast.

In other recipes, active dry yeast can be added with the flour to the warm water/sugar mixture. Quick-rising yeast is also active dry yeast, but it has been formulated to raise the dough in one-third to one-half the time.
