Field notes
Butterrill organizes baking around flour-weight ratios rather than volume measures, allowing the same formula to be recalculated for different batch sizes. Its explanations include practical ingredient distinctions: bread flour is described by protein range, wholemeal flour may need additional water, and butter’s water content affects its behavior. The page also supplies concrete reference ranges for lean bread, including 60–75% water and 1.8–2.2% salt.
