My way to make a 1 lb loaf of bread. Roughly 5 1/3 oz of water or more precisely to the black line on the measuring cup that came with my bread machine. Roughly 1 tablespoon margarine. 7/8 tsp salt. Put in bread machine. Add 2 cups bread flour, 1 tablespoon each dry milk and sugar then one teaspoon yeast. Menu to the dough cycle. In an hour and a half put dough in a baking dish. An hour later bake at 350 for about 50 minutes.
I keep a 2 cup measuring cup in the bread flour and a tablespoon in both the dry milk and the sugar.
Oh here is a neat set of cups and spoons.
