Bread-Bakers v103.n004.4

Sandy,

I use the same yeast, and have found that I can have a perfectly risen 
bread with 1 tsp of SAF instant.  I was trying to minimize the yeast flavor 
in the final product, so I kept reducing the amount shown in the recipes to 
see if it made any difference in the rise of the loaf.  It didn't.

The bottom line is that the amount of yeast you put in the recipe is not 
very critical.  Experiment, and you'll see.
