If the ratio is above the range, it is too dry. Add liquid or reduce the dry ingredients. You may still need to experiment a little but this calculation will get you beyond the trial and error stage. If you need to fine tune the recipe make equal adjustments to both the wet and dry ingredients in order to maintain the liquidity ratio. I have used the cake cycle for the Banana Pecan Bread recipe from the Zo cookbook with nothing but good results.
Evidence usually disappears after a day.
My apologies if it appears twice. Stir together flours, cornmeal, dry milk powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice in a large bowl. Add egg, then begin adding water gradually, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add just enough water to produce a very stiff dough. If you add too much water and dough is no longer stiff, add a little more flour.
