things people ask

• How much should I actually put on toast?
  Less than a teaspoon, almost always. The classic British and Australian instruction is a thin scrape over buttered toast, which works out to maybe 2 to 4 grams — roughly half a teaspoon. People newer to the spread tend to apply it like jam, which lands around a full teaspoon or more and is the usual reason first-timers find it too intense.
• What does a teaspoon do in a soup or gravy?
  A teaspoon stirred into a pot of soup, gravy, or pan sauce serving four to six people adds roughly the same depth as a stock cube — yeast extract is essentially a concentrated dehydrated stock paste. It dissolves best when whisked into hot liquid off the boil. Start with a teaspoon, taste, and add a second if you want more savory backbone, but reduce other salt accordingly.
• How much for a cheese-and-yeast-extract bake or scroll?
  For something like Vegemite cheese scrolls, dough swirls, or savory shortbread, recipes typically call for one to three teaspoons (6 to 18 g) per portion of dough that uses around 250 g of flour. The fat in butter or cheese tempers the saltiness considerably, so you can be slightly more generous in baked applications than you would on toast.
