On some advice on ingredient substitutions, and whether something should be substituted 1:1, I just read: "Yep....same...or more...or less....doesn't really matter...bread is not an exact science."
If anyone ever gives you bread advice like the above, stop listening to them and find another source. Top bread chefs will measure out ingredients by weight because volume measurements can't be trusted. It's true you can fudge the numbers quite a bit for some ingredients, but even the slightest alteration will result in a different tasting bread. Because baking bread is an exact science.
