Clayton's Bread of France

Does anyone own or have used Bernard Clayton's "The Breads of France" book? Thoughts, opinions? I was thinking of purchasing the book. Thanks!

Clayton's yeast quantities

Just working through some of BC's French breads and wonder if someone can tell me how much 1 packet of yeast is in oz or gm or teaspoon? In Australia they come in 7gm and 15 gm packets. At present I just guess!

Re: yeast

I've found that the 15 gr pkg is 2/14 tsp.

BC yeast quantities

Thats right Ryan but BC just talks about 1 packet - I do not know if I packet is 7gm or 15gm or 2 and a bit teaspoons - the measure he uses is 1 packet and I need to know what its actual weight or volume is? Hope you can help.

Thats what I guessed from usual baking but good to know I can plow on - BCs rye loafs are on for this weekend but also thinking of trying South African Boerbiscuits or rusks.

yeast conversions

Allinson the UK flour millers advise in their small cook book that
1 oz(25grm)Fresh yeast =1/2oz(15grm) dried active yeast =1/4oz(7gr sachet or 2.5tsp)Easy bake yeast which is their instant yeast for bread machines
Hope this may be helpful
