Most of the recipes in the book call for 4 7/16 cups of flour. I have never seen flour measured like this. Is there a better way to measure the flour?

What I do is...I measure 4-1/2 cups of flour into the bucket...then I remove a level tablespoon of flour out of the bucket. I do this before I plunk in all the other ingredients. This will give you exactly 4-7/16 cups of flour...16 tablespoons equals 1 cup.

Always best/most accurate to measure by weight. The basic recipe has 14.75oz. My scale rounds that to 14.8 and never had a problem :)

Keep in mind that bread isn't a souffle and absolutely precise ingredient measurment is over kill.

Because it's a conversion of what the WEIGHT of the flour should be. I bought a kitchen scale with a tare function and it is SO convenient. Put the bucket on the scale, tare it to zero and add the ingredients straight into the bucket, taring after each addition.

Measure half a cup and take out one tablespoon and that will give ya the 7/16. Like you I am really bad at this measuring thing so I look stuff on the net and I print it out or write it out and put into a folder for further use :)

If you'll notice, the measure line for the bowls is about a 1/3 inch from the top rim; so if you filled with flour or whatever, you'll get more than a cup or 1/2 cup or whatever the stated size of the bowl is. They're prep bowls, not measuring cups.

Yeah, that is a lot to have left over. I didn't follow the directions since I read on here beforehand that the measurements were off. I usually use 3 cups of milk and about 1 1/2 to 2 Tbsp of starter and that's it. I don't use the dry milk powder.

No, I made bread by hand only with this flour. I do not own a bread machine. My favorite recipe was where you let the majority of the flour soak over night. I would soak 3 cups of flour in 1 cup warm water(sometimes throwing in a handful of oatmeal or flax) then the next morning add the rest of the ingredients. It also seemed to rise better but I did knead for 15 minutes. Totally flour I used in the recipe was approx. 4 cups with a bit more for kneading. I got 2 8x5 loaves out of it. I found the recipe via google.

The recipe I use I only use 5 cups of flour, once it rises, it will fill the pan very nicely

There is one recipe for 100% whole wheat flour (Honey Whole Wheat Bread 1 1/2 lb. loaf). It also calls for a small amount of gluten flour and powdered milk. I have used several other bread cookbook recipes that use a combination of wheat and bread flour and they have turned out well. This is my 3rd bread machine and this is the only one that I have not had regular problems with bread falling once it goes into the bake cycle. I've had slight falling with this machine 2-3 times and it's when I'm trying a new recipe I've never made before. I've been enjoying this machine more than any of the other brands. Hope this helps.

I use 3 cups bread flour with 2 tbls VWG. your results may be * not enough time, not enough yeast for proofing, also not knead enough so it densed in the center,

It is actually more like bisquick then just straight flour. So you can use it that way cup for cup but it doesn't have a flour taste. It tastes more like bisquick.

I typically prepare a dough using 6 cups and then split it in two, one half I use in the superstone baker and the space is plenty even when the volume doubles... you could probably fit even a four-cup recipe in it, I would think.

Yes, it's usually about 3/4 teaspoon per cup of flour. You might need to experiment a little to get the right amt of xanthan gum as every flour mix is a little different.

I make my loaf with 2 full cups of whole wheat flour, and 3/4 cup of vital gluten flour. Whole wheat needs the extra boost to rise (plus I also put 4 seeds in my bread-sunflower, sesame, flax, and pumpkin). Anecdotally, I know of people who only use about 1/3 cup, and are happy, maybe this is with white flour. I find the extra amount good for whole wheat.

It depends on the recipe you use - the one I've used most with this pan has about 4 cups of flour - or two pounds worth.

Hello Vonda, it is funny Amazon wanted me to give you feedback on biscuits, Just the other day when I looked in my pantry I thought about making them. The only differences is I was going to use Pamela's all purpose pancake and waffle flour(the flour in the yellow bag) I love Pamela's all purpose flours. Only one time did I have a total flop. Please let me know how your biscuits turn out, if you can.

That's a great question. I suppose you could do that and it would be pretty close, but honestly, when the measure is less than a cup, I usually use my measuring cup set instead. I only use the Taylor when I need to measure more than a cup...which is most of the time! I've had this scale for three years and I love it. I initially bought it because I have a bread machine and wanted accuracy in measuring the flours. I just bought another one as a gift for a wedding. I will always use this scale!
