Default Question about making Oatmeal Bread

Question for you bread baking people.... I have a King Arthur bread
recipe (I used all the KA bread flour yesterday, so I'm "stuck" with
the organic best of the best flour that I buy in bulk from Rainbow)
which calls for 3 cups bread flour and 1 cup "old fashioned oats" (I
have it) - but my question is about the yeast measure. The recipe
calls for 2 teaspoons of instant yeast for. When I make pizza, I use
1/2 tsp dry yeast (bought in bulk) to 4 cups all-purpose or bread
flour and it is very active. Do I really need 2 teaspoons of yeast
for this bread???? It seems to me that if I really needed more yeast,
1 tsp would do the trick. What say you?
