what kind of yeast are you
what kind of yeast are you using and how much post a formula for for info
in general you should be using no more than 1 oz of cake yeast for each pound of flour unless the dough is very rich like coffie cake then you can use a little more
dry yeast is about half that so 1/2 oz per pound of flour add to much and you will get the yeast tast
Too much yeast
The usual reason for a yeasty taste is using too much yeast.
Less yeast and longer rises help reduce this. How much less? It's a matter of taste. However, using a poolish you can make about 20 loaves of bread with a single packet of yeast. And the breads will not taste yeasty.
