Help - what is 7g in teaspoons?

I am wanting to make bread rolls with olive oil and have a recipe to try. But it uses grams and I only have imperial scales. Normally this isn't a problem as I have a converter whatsit but this recipe calls for a 7g sachet of yeast. I don't have the sachets but do have a tin of the instant yeast which I use for bread.
I have measuring spoons. What is 7g converted to spoons? Can't find it online......

I think 7g would be just over a teaspoon, perhaps a teaspoon and a half.
It would vary depending on what you are weighing if you want it exact to to so many decimal points, but I think more than one but less than two teaspoons would do you.Ermutigung wirkt immer besser als Verurteilung.

Thank you all so much, I will try one and a half teaspoons to 500g flour (1 lb 1 oz?) and give it a go!0

I use one level teaspoon of instant yeast to 500g of flour. If you are going to leave the bread to rise for a long time (which does make it taste better :-) ) then you can use only half the yeast so it doesn't over-rise. I do this when I make the dough the night before.0

It's normally better to ask google the other way around. Lots of results for "weight of one teaspoon of yeast".
But I did also find some results for "volume of 7g of yeast". You have to specify yeast because obviously a teaspoon of sugar, flour, almonds, yeast, oil, water will not weigh the same.

I did weigh the yeast once when I got my digital scales and a teaspoon of yeast was 5g0

There are 28 grams to an ounce, so 7 grams is a quarter of an ounce.One life - your life - live it!0
