Questions for King Arthur moderator please. First let me say great write-up and terrific photos, which is what my questions relate to. Although the recipe calls for 4-cups flour and 1-cup milk, not to mention the other ingredients, the dough only comes up to the 3-cup marker on the measuring cup. Can that be? Also, after it has risen, the dome of the dough comes up to about the 5-cup marker but the amount of dough the person is holding in the following photo seems massive by comparison. An explanation/clarification on these two points would be most appreciated. Hi Mitch - Once you add liquid to flour it becomes very compacted, which is why the ending volume doesn't seem to equate with the beginning. And the amount of dough I'm holding looks massive because it's close to the camera lens - no other reason. Go forth with confidence... PJH
