Did you make a recipe?
I can’t wait to see your wonderful creations!
Sure it’s just 1 cup of flour?
Hi Lisa,
thank you for contacting me, I used a 11×7 inches pan and It is 2 cups, not 1.
Your flour reads 250 g or 1 Cup. 250 g should be 2 Cups. I just made this and found the batter to be a wet soup until I made the correction to 2 cups. The bread turned out amazing… thanks for sharing !!
Thank you!
