I value your expertise immeasurably,Zoe. I just ordered your GF Artisan Bread book,and I know how useful this information will be once I crack it open and start baking your yummy bread recipes. Thank you!
My problem is I’ve tried this before. When you look up on the internet how much a cup of flour should weigh it can be different on each different site. I even did a basic search and there’s no real answer. Same thing for sugar etc. King Arthur baking has a lot of measurements for many different ingredients. But theirs can be different too. I get so confused I just give up. Many of my recipes are so old and handed down no idea if it was a scoop and sweep or what. Do you have any advise? Thank you
There is no confusion. Using weighing scales is demonstrably more accurate than using volume cups. I’ve no idea why Americans still use cups. Fine in colonnial times when it was impractical to haul around heavy weighing scales in a wagon, but times have changed!
This was so helpful and well done! Thanks so much Zoe!!!
You're so welcome!

I had no idea the detail in the scoop and sweep or sift into the cup or after the cup! I treasure your knowledge and all things baking!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Wow! I had no idea! Love your channel and Magnolia show. Hugs!!
Thank you so much! Glad it's helpful.
Another genius tip. Thank you!!

Wow! Who knew?!
what a difference in weight!
It's surprising to a lot of people how much of a difference it is! Really does change the outcome when you're baking.
