My DH's granny was going to teach me how to make homemade bread. She lived on a farm, they get up at 4 a m to milk cows. and of course I had to get up too. With my pencil and paper in hand I'm ready!! Granny is telling me the ingredients, and then she starts on the measurements. A handful of flour. a dash of this, a pinch of that, and yeast in warm water, well you get the idea. I'm with accurate measurements for recipes why else do you have all those tools in the kitchen, and yes I/2 cup serving size helps too.
