Bavarian hefe yeast from white labs

Wheat malt 63% 7lb
Pilsner malt 18% 2lb
Cara-pils 9% 1lb
Biscuit malt 4.5% .5lb

Pellets
Hallertauer .50 oz 60 min 8.7 IBU
Tettnanger .50 oz 20 min 3.3IBU
Hallertauer .25 oz 10 min .9 IBU

I like a big head of foam on my hefes maybe im asking for too much with this recipe, i need some help with the hop schedule. i only have 1oz hallertauer and 1 oz tettnanger. pellat form of course.
