Nana, often brioche recipes call for a bit more yeast (hence the 1 tablespoon called for in this recipe), but if you found the buns rose well with one packet of yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons), then that amount should be fine. A tablespoon of yeast = 9.45 grams. You added a bit less salt than the recipe called for (about 7 grams), but that shouldn't be a problem either. We use teaspoon and tablespoon measurements for ingredients that are added in very small quantities because some home scales are not very accurate when weighting such items. Barb@KAF
