I want to make a challah recipe that calls for 4 ounces fresh yeast. I only have dry. Anyone know how much I should use?

I think its more like 1 1\4 tbsp dry yeast to one ounce fresh yeast.

It's actually 2-1/4 tsp for each oz of fresh yeast.

4 oz fresh yeast = 3 Tbsp dry yeast (aka 9 tsp dry yeast)

I always us 1 oz fresh= 1 Tbs + 1 tsp dry yeast

I used to use 4 oz fresh yeat in my challah. About 3years ago I switced to a generous 5 Tbs with great results! you can google ingredient conversions.
