I really don't get why so many people keep harping on about how
people used to make bread. The amount of times I hear 'Well, how did
they do it on the Oregon trail...?' I really don't give a stuff.
What's important is what is the best and simplest way with good
compromise that I can make bread that I enjoy eating now. Despite all
protestations from one or two the quickest and most reliable way I
can make the loaf of bread that I want, not that is just good, that I
set out to make is with a tare-able scale. If by some weird
catastrophe society collapsed and I could no longer buy batteries or
a new scale and assuming wheat was still available and I didn't have
more pressing things on my mind like not being eaten by rapid dogs, I
know I'd be able to make a good loaf without scales. I know because
when I'm at someone else's house who doesn't have scales I do and
very well, but it's still quicker and easier with a scale. I can't
help seeing the irony of those that cling to the 'simplicity' of cups
typing away at their computers.

The esay way to get bread is go to the story and buy some.
