chines is divided into eighths, but it is awkward to use; I like my old glass
measuring cup and Tupperware dry measures. Once you become familiar
with the measuring language associated with bread machines, you won’t find
it difficult. Use this chart to familiarize yourself with some less common
measures and their equivalents; use it for an aid when you are halving a 2-
pound-loaf recipe to make a 1-pound loaf, or find out how much of an ingre-
dient to buy when shopping from the bulk aisle of your grocery store.
