That's what I think :) Of course, I'm biased, because BHG was the one I grew up with. I can still remember that the recipes for pancakes and waffles are on pages 79-80. --DJthe Joneseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854341910963353734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878103.post-1106920377611273812005-01-28T08:52:00.000-05:002005-01-28T08:52:00.000-05:00Hmm, that's an idea.

Probably too much yeast and not enough baking time (I forgot how much yeast bread rises and shaped the loaf way too big). I'll tweak it and try again.<br /><br />(Joy of Cooking was no help, by the way. I looked at all the charts in the back and they didn't have the conversion table I was looking for. Demerits to Joy of Cooking.)<br /><br />~RoseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878103.post-1106859010172947902005-01-27T15:50:00.000-05:002005-01-27T15:50:00.000-05:00I think one package of yeast usually equals one ta...I think one package of yeast usually equals one tablespoon of yeast. --DJthe Joneseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854341910963353734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878103.post-1106741193984707552005-01-26T07:06:00.000-05:002005-01-26T07:06:00.000-05:00Based on the rule, "a pint's a pound, the world ar...Based on the rule, "a pint's a pound, the world around," I'd say that's about four cups of flour.<br /><br />That sounds like a little bit too much salt, and a little bit too little yeast. For that much flour I'd usually use 2 tsp. of salt and 2 tbs. of yeast. Of course, he could be referring to a more concentrated form of yeast than I'm used to. So, this is probably not much help. Is it a fairly dense bread?Queen of Carrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193758647591339890noreply@blogger.com
