Digital kitchen scale

Weighing flour is the single biggest fix for dry bakes.

What it is and why it matters

A digital kitchen scale weighs ingredients instead of measuring them by volume. A cup of flour can vary a lot depending on how it's scooped, and weighing takes the guesswork out. It's the biggest help for bread and other baking where ratios matter.
