[Sca-cooks] question about breads

[rbbtslyr]

Yep, but the other receipes were 3 lbs before baking, 2.25 roughly after so they didn't do their homework and make this one fit the rest of the book. I should have been more clear in the error.  It wont fit in the recommend pan, it will fit more or less in two of them but the loaves are a bit small.  Of course with round loaves that doesn't matter unless it wont fit on my hearth stones.

Has anyone tried hardwood ashes in quickbreads and such, I have a few receipes calling for them as a leavener, and was wondering how well they work.

  You lose about 25 percent of the weight of the dough during baking, mostly 
  in fluid loss.  So 4 pounds of ingredients will produce approximately a 3 
  pound loaf.  Type of flour, age of flour, and type of liquids used tend to 
  alter the amount of loss, but 25 percent is a good rule of thumb.

  Interesting, the books I checked said different, but heck I have found 
  plenty of errors in them, one receipe suppose to be a 3lb loaf would be 4 
  lbs if I took the messures listed....not all written material is right so I 
  practice first before cooking for parties etc.
