IMPORTANT MEASURING TIPS
Because each ingredient plays such a specific role in
relationship to the other, it is very important to measure
them very carefully and exactly. It is a good idea to invest
in a double set of whatever you are using so you will have
one for dry and wet ingredients.
FOR DRY INGREDIENTS:
Use standard imperial OR metric dry measures or spoons
(see photo). For flour, be sure to spoon the flour into
the measuring cup and level off with a flat knife.
For salt, sugar and yeast, dip a clean, dry measuring
spoon into the ingredient and level off with a flat knife.
NEVER measure these over the pan.
FOR LIQUIDS:
Fill a glass standard measure or spoons to the level
indicated (see photos). Place the glass measure
on a flat surface and kneel down to check the level
at eye level. Add or subtract as necessary to make
sure it is exact. Even a tablespoon too little or
too much will make a difference.
FOR FATS:
Fill a standard measure to the level required
and level off with a flat knife.
