Converting Fahrenheit and Celsius
- To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 degrees and divide by 1.8
- To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8 and add 32 degrees
Converting Yeast
- Converting from fresh yeast to active dry yeast you multiply the weight of the fresh yeast by 0.4
- Converting from fresh yeast to instant dry yeast you multiply the weight of the fresh yeast by 0.33
Tip: Buy a kitchen scale and your baking life will be a whole lot easier! Especially with weighing small amounts of yeast and salt, a precision scale that can weigh tenths of grams is something I couldn’t do without. You know exactly what you put in and will discover that there is a difference in taste when putting e.g. 8.2 or 9 grams of salt in your bread
I love this conversion chart, its the quick and easy way to convert;-)
I enjoy your site very much and would love to make your cherry & babana muffin cake but I dont know what size a baking pan is. Can you help me .Thankyou Barbara .
Thank you Barbara!
For that recipe I used a rectangular cake tin of about 30 cm /12 inch long and 11 cm/ 4.5 inch wide. Of course you can also use other shapes. Just keep in mind that your cake tin or individual muffin tins are filled to at least 2/3. I like it when muffins or cakes are high domed, so I make sure I fill the tins at least 2/3 or even a bit more.
Have fun with the baking!

how do I convert one us cup to English ounces
“1 tablespoon of flour = between 14 and 15 grams”
Unless you meant a heaped tablespoon of flour (i.e. two level tablespoons) then this estimate must be wrong as this puts flour at the same density as butter or water. Maybe 7-8 grams?
Hello Martin,
Thank you very much for noticing because you are completely right. We have already corrected it. A heaped tablespoon would be around 14 but then we should have indicated that it was heaped.
Greetings,
