It depends.... have you tried making croissant dough, the french
"mille fleure" (sp?) thing with the wrong proportions of stuff?
Or phyllo dough? believe me, an extra/missing cup does matter in
that case.

Nothing drove that point home for me more than when I

something other than flour, yeast, or water, out of my bread recipe, it
really
didn't matter much. Moreover, if I put in an extra
cupp of flour, or
inadvertently left one out, it didn't matter either. It still produced
bread,
and the normal result wasn't sufficiently
reproducible to point up any
difference between the amounts either...
