The article also talks about their baking classes. Here's a 1 minute video about them:

quantity of yeast in recipe

the recipe in the new york times link indicates the addition of 2 tablespoons of yeast.  this seems like an excessive amount of yeast for the amount of flour and the rising/proofing procedures involved.  can you verify that the indicated amount is correct?  thanks. stefenos
