All different types of yeast can be interchanged. What differs is the starting amount required and how quickly they rise, and how they are best activated.
- Quick or rapid rise yeast activates easily when mixed with your dry ingredients and a hot liquid. Typically the liquid added to the flour mix would be about 120-130°F (49-54°C).
- Active dry yeast should be activated in a warm (110°F/43°c) liquid for a few minutes.
The two yeasts can be substituted for each other fairly equally by volume or weight.
With live yeast cultures, you must always observe the outcome, or high how the bread rises, not just a prescribed or predicted rise time. Rapid rise yeast will tend to rise somewhat more quickly than active dry yeast, but you need to monitor the progress.
You will find that the very warm ambient temperature that have previously indicated you have where you are makes the yeasts of any type act more quickly than many recipes designed for US room temperatures (with air conditioning) of about 70°F (21°C) predict in any case—this is going to be the more influential factor.

How long does yeast need to rest?

And don't forget to "prove" the yeast, i.e. dissolving it in a portion of the water from the recipe, heated to 105 degrees.How do I make sure active dry yeast is good?
There's an Easy Way to Check Proof your yeast to find out if it's still active by adding 1 teaspoon of sugar and 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast (one envelope) to 1/4 cup of warm water.
