Graham is a true baker.  He doesn't futz around with mixes that go

I don't think anyone here does that unless David does?  I've not seen
him mention that so assume he's just measuring things but he lets the
machine finish it.  No harm in that but limiting on shape.

Why speculate on what I do? That's just so silly. I don't measure out
ingredients for bread. The only critical ingredient is the liquid. I add
water/milk to get the proper hydration. Any baker worth his salt is
going to make adjustments for the conditions at the time. You can't just
specify a measurement that's going to be right at all times - or can
you?
