Friend said my sourdough starter needs a scale, not cups. Do you weigh or scoop?
She told me last Tuesday at her place in Boise that using cups is why my loaves keep coming out dense, and now I'm second guessing everything. Do you all weigh your flour or just scoop and pray?
Did you know my grandma baked bread for 40 years and never owned a scale? She used a coffee mug and her loaves were fine, but she also baked the same recipe every week for decades so she just knew how the dough should feel. Switching to a scale helped me way more than it ever helped her, mostly because I was guessing wrong on the scoop every single time.
