That's a great vid. Thanks.

If nothing else, it confirms the servants ate better than the Masters.

I love that if there is a measurement at all it is of the hand or scoop.

I'm only half way thru it, but dough calls. I will finish the view in a few.

Thanks,

dobie

btw - You're really on a roll today. Where do you come up with this stuff?

about Victorian bread baking in England.  I was upset that I couldn't watch it being a history and bread history buff.  So I started doing some research on it and found these sites among so many other interesting ones - Especially this one
