Let's get this party started!

Hello everyone!

I've decided to start this blog in order to help document my endeavor of trying to be able to make a loaf of bread.

"Well, IIIIIIII've got a bread machine and I can make a perfectly good loaf" says you.

Really? Can you customize the loaf? Do you know what adding or subtracting water will do? How about if I took away your measure spoons and cups and gave you a different set? Would you get the same loaf? Could you repeat your loaf?

And that is why I've created this. I learned that measuring cups are wildly inaccurate. A "cup" of water is anywhere from 210ml-270ml depending on which measuring cup I used at my house. A "cup" of flour measured anywhere from 140-180mg! That is a pretty large margin of error.

So, what I've endeavored to do is to:

1. Use weights instead of volume
2. Document the daylights out of what I make.
3. Record the results
4. Repeat to verify.

What I'm using :

A scale capable of measuring in grams

A scale capable of measuring in 10 milligram or better.

Various containers to measuring and holding the ingredients.

A "Philips" bread maker.

A thermometer. (Mines missing)

Excel - To document

What to expect :

Umm bread?

How you can help :

I want you to give this a try and tell me how it went. Post pictures. More importantly, post data. I want to know everything about what you did, and how it turned out.
