recipe: liquids, dry ingredients and then yeast . Some ingredient amounts are the same for different
size loaves .
MEASURING...The Correct Way
Be sure to measure accurately for success . Mis-measuring, even slightly, can make a big difference
in your results .
When you are measuring liquids, use a clear
glass or plastic liquid measuring cup . To ensure
accuracy, set the measuring cup on the counter
top and read the measurement at eye level .
To measure your flour, spoon it lightly into a
standard dry ingredient measuring cup and level
it with a straight edge . Also, do not shake the
cup or tap it on the counter top . Do not scoop
the flour with the measuring cup as this tends to
pack more flour than the recipes call for .
Use standard measuring spoons and level with a
straight edge .
