Measuring

The most important secret of making bread: “Exact measurements”. That’s the key to successfully baking bread. “Exact measurements”. With wet ingredients, use ONLY measuring cups with the cups/ounces marked clearly on the side. After filling the measuring cup, place it on a flat surface and view it at eye level to make sure the amount of liquid is exact. Then, double check. With dry ingredients, use a spoon to place

ingredients into the measuring cup then “level off” the measurement with the back of a knife or

spatula to make sure the measurement is exact. Another helpful tip is to never use the cup

to scoop the ingredients (for example, flour). By scooping, you could add up to one Tbsp. of extra ingredients. Fill the measuring cup

with a spoon before leveling off.
