Best part of cooking compared to baking, in my opinion, is this.
You need 2 cups of whatever? Well, an extra eighth cup by accident isn't going to kill it, probably.
Your pastry or whatever your baking calls for exactly 2 pecans? Better not forget them or whatever you're baking will go thermonuclear!
Honestly this is less true the more you bake. I find myself tearing recipes apart and substituting/modifying amounts of all sorts of ingredients.
Sure if you want to make a fluffy white cake or a classic chocolate chip cookie you better do that by the book but you can get pretty creative with baking if you know what you're doing.
Bread is the domain of the mad. You learn how the air feels and adjust accordingly
