I always thought weighing flour was a waste of time until my breads stopped being dense

For years I just scooped flour straight from the bag with a cup measure. My sandwich loaves were always a bit heavy. A baker friend in Tulsa finally convinced me to try a scale. I bought a cheap digital one and weighed 500 grams of flour for my standard recipe. The difference was huge, my crumb was way lighter and more even. Anyone else have a simple change that made a big difference?

Yeah, switching to a scale was a game changer for me too.
