Hi Diane. Volume remains the most common measurement option used by home bakers in the U.S., while grams offer the most precise method — the gold standard among professional bakers. Taking customer feedback into account, we’ve also made the process of identifying and switching between volume and gram measurements even easier by inserting both versions directly into ingredient lines in our recipes. The weight of smaller ingredients like salt, yeast, baking soda, or baking powder in our recipes are added, however, most home scales have a 5 gram variance and if weighing less than 5 grams it is best to use a Micro-gram scale. This typical 5 gram variance this can lead to an incorrect amount for an important ingredient like salt, yeast, baking powder or baking soda that will most of the time be under 10 grams. We hope you find this helpful. Happy Baking!
