^^^This right here!!^^^
I bake bread and even wrote a few magazine articles about it a few years back. The quality of your dough and bread will vary with the surrounding conditions, so you may have to tweak the recipe. Another factor to consider when baking bread is whether or not you are using a bread machine. ( I also like to increase the amount of fat in the recipe!)
