I love using my kitchen scale to weigh ingredients out instead of measuring. My new scale does the calculating using bakers percentages so now I have to work on converting my bread recipes.

I followed the recipe exactly and my bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This bread is a bit denser than I expected, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a bit more yeast if you want a lighter bread.
