to improve your loaf:\u00a0 <\/em>Reducing your flour* or increasing your liquid.\u00a0 When the dough is too dry, add ingredients like nuts and raisins cannot penetrate the dough ball.<\/p>\n<p>*The weight of a cup of flour can fluctuate significantly depending upon how the flour is measured.\u00a0 Using the measuring cup as a scooper, or pouring flour into the measuring cup will result in more of the ingredient being used than our recipes call for.\u00a0 You can reduce your flour using one of two methods:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Volumetrically: Fluff your flour with a fork or a whisk to loosen it; then, spoon it into your nested measuring cups, and level off without tapping or shaking.<\/li>\n<li>By weight: Weigh your flour with a digital kitchen scale (128g\/4.51oz per cup for bread flour; 120g\/4.23 oz for whole wheat flour, and 125g\/4.41oz for all purpose).\u00a0 This method yields the most consistent and optimal results, and conveniently cuts out the guesswork.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Still having trouble, or don\u2019t see your baking problem listed here?\u00a0 Please contact our <\/strong><a
