Hi, D. Beeckler,

Concerning question #3, in fact, there *is* sugar in normal flour, 
even without adding any.

Or, rather, there *will* be.

You see, starch (the primary component of flour) is lots of sugars 
connected together. Flour also contains enzymes that (in the presence 
of water) break down some of the starches into their component sugars.

So, at the same time that that 1/4 teaspoon of yeast is eating up the 
sugar, the enzymes are making sugar.
