Thyme (dried)
Dried thyme weighs 28g per cup. Use 1 teaspoon dried for every tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves. Dried thyme retains its flavor better than most dried herbs and works well in long-cooked dishes like stews, soups, and roasted meats. It pairs naturally with rosemary and sage. Rub dried thyme between your fingers before adding to recipes to release its aromatic oils. Store in a sealed container and replace after about a year.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
