[/quote] I can understand this. And the prospect of having to get used to the Imperial system again if we move back to the U.S. at some point is rather daunting. [quote] As for measurements in cooking I like to get the numbers but I don't stick with them. I use my eyes, nose and touch to help guide the process. I know you must do this too to some extent.[/quote] Cooking, yes. I rely only loosely on measurements when I cook. Baking, though, is another story. When 10 ml of water can make the difference between a beautifully risen loaf and a collapsed mess, you'd better believe I get my measurements precise. I have a baking notebook in which I keep detailed records of all my experiments, complete with exact measurements and a detailed analysis of the process and aftermath. Depending on the complexity of the bread, I may go through anywhere from 3-6 iterations in my quest for the perfect recipe, or at least one close enough to perfect that I can settle on it (I still haven't settled on a recipe for pizza dough). Then again, I'm kind of obsessive. :) Anyway, I'm looking forward to your further adventures with bread. I read up on that granary flour, and it sounds like it would be fun to bake with... I wonder if I can get my hands on some wheat for malting. Alas, Korea does not have quite as many baking resources as traditional bread nations. At least, I can get imported flour these days, though--Korean flour is designed more for noodles than bread.
