Subject: RE: BS: Bread recipes by weight
Most people over here use volume measures.

My Mother-in-law has a set of scales that were left to her by a Norwegian friend and they are metric. So I am the only one whoever uses them because no one else can remember that there are 453.6 grams to a pound.

Yes it is seriously imprecise, and if I haven't made bread for a while I find it takes me a couple of times to get it right again.

Oh and it is not just feel it is also timing if you let it rise too little or too much it spoils the result.
