If you cut a bread recipe in half, do you also cut the yeast in half or use the whole packet?

You might also want to check out Michael Ruhlman's book RATIO, which is also available as a paid app for Iphone and Droid users.

Absolutely halve the yeast along with the rest of the ingredients. I do this routinely, since I'm usually baking for one.

Yes. Use only 1 & 1/8 tsp if the original recipe calls for 1 packet.
