Hi Dick,

One way to choose the quantity of yeast is to think of the length of 
bulk fermentation you want and then pick the amount of yeast that is 
the best fit for that time.

As a rough rule of thumb,

1 hour bulk fermentation use cake yeast weight = 2% of weight of 
flour (1% if using active dry, 0.8% if using instant

2 hour bulk fermentation use cake yeast weight = 1% of weight of 
flour (0.5% if using active dry, 0.4% if using instant

These are such small quantities to weigh that it's also helpful to 
keep in mind that 1 oz. of instant yeast fills 12.5 teaspoons.
