Has anyone tried to use the artisan bread recipe for rye bread?
Another question, what does a "packet" of yeast equal in measurement? I have a jar of yeast and keep seeing recipes requiring a "packet." My cook book conversion tables are silent on this.

The internet conversion tables are not silent, however: http://breaddaily.tripod.com/yeast.htm One packet yeast = 2.25 tsp. I used this info after getting a jar of yeast on the discount rack at the supermarket.

I would be surprised if the jar of yeast does not give an equivalent measure for a packet. -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ http://web.mac.com/barbschaller, and here's the link to my appearance on "A Prairie Home Companion," <http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/ programs/2008/08/30/>

Fleischmann's jar says: 2-1/4 tsp = 1 packet = 1 cake of fresh yeast (0.6 oz)

This brings back a recollection of when I actually opened a packet and measured, and the results were not what were given on the jar.

It's a jar of Fleischmann's. Just like you predicted, the information is on the jar, BUT it is so TINY I mistook it for the copyright and mfr address info. With a magnifying glass, I see, and I quote:

I don't remember. This was several years ago. I just recall that I ripped open a package and measured and then was told that was incorrect!
