If your bag of flour show that 1 cup equals 120g then you most certainly should go by what your bag of flour says. As you can see by my photos my bread did not turn out dry at all. Baking is an exact science, but along with that you need to go according to feel as well. If your dough seemed dry, it was perfectly okay to add a bit more milk to give you the consistency required. I have found that not all flours measure equally, and that sometimes you need to play with them a bit. In the book the measurement for 3 cups was 411g, so different yet again! That would make it 137g per cup (much closer to my 140g). I am hoping you are not as confused now as I am! lol Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-4214896695168988962024-01-28T16:05:55.800+00:002024-01-28T16:05:55.800+00:00I am a novice bread maker so please forgive me if ...I am a novice bread maker so please forgive me if I am mistaken. When making the mik bread recipe as shown above, I found the dough to be very dry. In rechecking the amount of flour it shows 3 cups (420g). When I looked at the bag of my flour is shows 1 cup equals 120g, therefore three cups would equal 360g. In using a cups to grams converter the results also showed 360g for 3 cups. The extra 60 grams of flour in the recipe may be the result of the dryness of my dough. Is 420 grams of flour correct?? I ended up adding about 3 TBS more of milk.

My ex used to make our bread by hand and he would bake a dozen loaves a week. The first loaf was always inhaled! This is an inhalable loaf! I hope you enjoy it! xoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-49525673499287294132022-07-28T09:31:27.175+01:002022-07-28T09:31:27.175+01:00Looks great Marie, I'll try this one.

When my kids and husband see that warm loaf of bread about to come out of the machine they're like circling vultures, with a plate of soft butter and butter knives in their hands.
