Hi Scott! We are sorry to hear of the troubles here...and have a few tips that may help. When it comes to smaller measurements, sometimes using the volume amounts is going to be simpler (especially since not all scales are best suited for measuring out those small gram amounts). For this recipe, you could use 1 1/8 teaspoons yeast, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar (dividing the original amounts in half since you are only making one loaf). If, however, you do want use the weight measurements, you certainly can. We would recommend investing in a precision scale for that, such as this one. Those are specifically designed to measure more accurately at those smaller levels.
