Everyone who answered is wrong!. I know its it a little too late to answer, but here is the correct answer!.
The yeast is listed in weight, not volume!. So, what you need to do is to find the volume for 0!.25 ounces (weight) of yeast!.
I just looked up the answer on http://www!.gourmetsleuth!.com According to this website 1/4 oz of dry yeast = 1!.77tsp or 0!.59 Tbsp!. This website uses a program that calculates weight/volume approximations using the average density for a variety of food/recipe ingredients!.
Just FYI: The idiots who invented the English System gave the same unit name (ounces) to both volume and weight!. So, its always kind of confusing when dealing with ounces!. This is why fluid ounces are not interchangeable with ounces:
A cup of lead pellets and a cup of feathers both occupy 8 fl!. oz!. of volume!. If you weigh the cup of pellets on a scale, it will weigh a lot more than 8 ounces!. If you weigh the feathers on a scale, they will weigh a lot less than 8 ounces!. Every ingredient has a different density, and this will effect the weight of a given volume of ingredient!.
This is also from gourmet sleuth, just so you can see the differences in weight vs!. volume!.
500 grams of mini marshmallows = 10 cups of mini marshmallows
500 grams of flour = 4 cups of flour
500 grams of sugar = 2!.5 cups of sugar
Dried ingredients are always sold by weight and listed in ounces (oz) or pounds!. If a recipe calls for 4 oz of flour, use a scale!. This does not mean 1/2 cup of flour!. Volume amounts in recipes are always listed in fluid ounces, teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, etc!.
Here is a conversion chart:
Volume:
3 tsp = 1 Tbsp
2 Tbsp = 1 fl!. oz!.
8 fl!. oz!. = 1 cup
2 cups = 1 pint = 16 fl!. oz!.
4 cups = 1 quart = 32 fl!. oz!.
4 quarts = 1 gallon = 128 fl!. oz!.
Weight:
16 oz!. = 1 pound
28 grams = 1 oz
Density will sometimes vary with ingredients!. For example, a cup of flour will sometimes weigh more in the winter due to humidity!. A pint of water will vary in weight depending on the temperature of the water!. It is for this reason that professional bakers weigh all their ingredients; it is a much more accurate method of measuring ingredients!.
