I've been making my own bread for years, but buying a kitchen scale 3 years ago changed the whole experience. Not only it is easier to prepare ingredients, but also my loaves are now equal, which makes baking and storing much easier. I bake two loaves every 2-3 weeks, cut them into slices, pack into small portions in the ziplocks and freeze them.

I did better yesterday but I probably spent 10 minutes pulling dough from one loaf to another. Suspect I'll pick a scale up Monday.
My Susie Homemaker Day wore me out. Not sure why - I've cleaned house before but incorporating it into bread baking seems to require a different fitness level. Then again, no bread machine and no stand mixer. Once you get to the last couple of cups of flour the initial dough mixing makes for a nice upper body workout.
