I got a wheat beer recipe and didn't realize till the end that it did not call for yeast. I looked and some recipe's call for yeast and some do not. Brand new to Beer Making and still pretty new to wine making. Help!
 
I prefer using Danstar Munich German Wheat Beer Yeast for all my Wheats.

 
I like to use an American California Ale Yeast WLP051. I'm a rule breaker.
 
Belgian Wit Ale (White Labs #WLP400)
Belgian Witbier (Wyeast Labs #3944)

Both of these will work well, as well as the yeasts mentioned above, they both are clean, crisp yeast. I recommend going to the White Labs and Wyeast website, they have lists of their yeasts and what they can bring to the beer, their temperature and alcohol tolerances, attenuation% and flocculation.
It is a good way to get familiarized with yeasts.
