I gave up on using volume measurements due to the problem of lack of consistency. I'm currently playing with a crust recipe that I got from a chef working in Colorado. It looks suspiciously like a NYC dough recipe. If I use weights, I can scale up or down easily and have a reasonable expectation of results. That one is a 65% hydration recipe. I have another recipe that's 70% hydration that's quite similar to a flat bread focaccia recipe that I can easily make a larger batch of similar dough by simply maintaining the same ratio of ingredients.

Consider the flour unit, King Arthur All Purpose flour, to be 100% of base weight. The water is 70%, salt 2%, and yeast- instant dry yeast- is 1%. Assuming the use of the same ingredients and procedures, a 1 lb ball of dough will be almost identical to a 10 lb batch with a lot less head scratching for someone who doesn't work with dough on a daily or professional basis. I'm that head scratcher that uses the scale. Anyone else using the same ingredients and procedures can be reasonably assured of getting similar results.
