I've generally had to use more flour in dough recipes than the recipe calls for. I'm guessing that this is because I'm in an area with higher humidity than average.
What humidity is assumed by typical recipes--is there a standard, or is it just whatever it was at the place where the recipe was developed? And is there some kind of formula I can use to calculate how to adjust for higher (or lower) humidity, or are there published tables for this? Or should I just start keeping a log of every dough I make, recording quantities of ingredients, humidity, temperature, and result? (Would air pressure also be a useful variable to record?).
