 Re: instant yeast vs active dry yeast
Tommy,
Very best advice to you is to consult Hamelman's Bread. There you will find a conversion chart. Alternately, look at pizzamaking.com where you''ll find similar conversions, or Rienhart's The Bread Bakers's Apprentice. No, they don't convert easily, but give these tables a shot. Across the board, IDY is a faster alterntive than ADY, but there are exceptions, as in biga recipes. Depend on what you're trying to do.
