SC - Bread

[Mahanna]

Had lots of fun baking today using the recipe Devra posted a few days
ago!
All I can say is YUMMMMY.  Was very very good with a flaky crusty
exterior and a soft interior was very impressed!  Although I do have a
question for those bread bakers among you ( I know you are in there
somewhere)  The original was quadrupled so I of course quartered the
recipe ( especially for a first try) anyways when I was in the middle of
it I realized that that I had used 1 cup water instead of the 1/4 cup it
should have been so instead of 1 cup milk I used 1/4 cup.  Well the
question is I know the amount of liquid total was correct but would the
reversal ( ie boo boo) I made affect the overall taste/ consistency?
The bread is great but I am curious if correcting the boo boo would make
it better?  Is it six of one and half a dozen of the other?  Or does the
original have 1 cp milk 1/4 water ratio for a reason?  Woul appreciate
any thoughts ( my brain has been tossing this back and forth with no
success all day)

Thanks Bunches!
p.s. Thanks for the bread shipping tips my sisters will thank you too
when they all get their bread!
