There are female bloggers all over the place who weigh bread
ingredients. You can find them quite easily. It is much tougher to
estimate how many people - male or female - make their bread by sight
and feel as that isn't shared as easily online. No recipes to post.

You can try this - it'll take you a very long time to load, and it's
in Gaelic, but this woman isn't one for weighing things, yet manages
just fine. It's worth watching no matter how you bake. And St. Paddy's
Day is just around the corner.
