off of another bakers baguette recipe. Since most of these are made with a poolish, and knowing Shaio -Ping loves to use them when making yeast breads, I would suspect that she used a poolish for thiss recipe. A 1/2 tsp of instant yeast, Not ADY, would be quite a bit for a poolish though where a pinch of instant would be used to make a poolish over 12 hours. SO I would assume a faster poolish rather and slow one, use 1/2 tsp of instant yeast, or 1 tsp of ADY and proceed accordingly.
A gram of water is the same as a milliliter, so if the recipe calls for 250 grams of water that is the same as 250 mil of water. And half a teaspoon of yeast is plenty if you give the bread time to rise properly.
Thank you for your helpful comments. The bread turned out delicious. I did add a half teaspoon of turmeric for the colour. It didn't rise as much as a white loaf but was still light. This bread is sold on the Island of Madeira where two elderly ladies bake it on a Saturday only, it is then sold at a local bakery in one small area only, this is where I became addicted to it. It is very nice with soup and lovely when lightly toasted.

Curry Rustic Bread
Half a teaspoon of yeast does not seem enough

The recipe gives liquid weight,this is not the same as dry weight
