I’m tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.

    And weather/storage. If flour is stored in a humid environment in a paper bag (like on a store shelf), it will get heavier as it takes on water. This messes up the weight of flour but also throws off the amount of water in the dough.

    That said I prefer baking by weight, not because it’s more precise, but because I don’t dirty dishes for measurements.
