Type the bread flour weight. Bread recipes list flour in grams for baker’s percentages, and small additions convert well to spoons.
Add flour by the spoon
Adjust sticky dough with 1 tbsp (8.1 g) at a time, kneading between additions.

bread flour tsp = g ÷ 2.7 | 1 tbsp = 8.1 g | 1 US cup ≈ 130 g

- 25 g of bread flour ÷ 8.1 = 3.09 tbsp.
- 1 cup of bread flour = 48 × 2.7 = 129.6 g.
