Wow, @breadcentric what a great read, so detailed and precise!

I have to admit, when I am making, soups, stews or the likes, I never measure; always a little bit of this and a lot of that.

But when it comes to making breads, I pretty much follow recipes to a “T”, otherwise, yes, you either have rocks on your hands or a dense ball of dough.

Thanks so much for the in depth explanation.
