Great pics. It looks really good.
Are you sure it's 2 packs of yeast? Generally the
proportion is 1 pack (2 1/4 t) per 4 C flour. High
sugar recipes require more but this doesn't have much sugar.
It won't make it rise any faster so maybe the extra yeast
is to make it taste extra yeasty?
Also, Teubner writes some good books. I really like
his book on chocolate. I use it often. His cheese book is
recommended too.
