Having attempted to construct my own spreadsheet for bread-recipes, I
checked out the features of the posted spreadsheet.

Compared to mine, it is immeasurably more elegant (and made me glad that I
never published my efforts).

However, it lacks one feature which mine had. And this was _the_ feature
that made me venture down this path in the first instant.

I needed to scale most published recipes to make the quantity of dough
that my (non-US-size) bakeware requires.

Hence my equivalents have two sets of entries. The first set is a
straight copy of a published recipe that I want to try. The second set
are the recalculated values of all the individual entries - based on the
dough-weight that I want to end up with.

Given that I have already gone down this track, I am aware that the full
implementation of this feature (in all parts of the posted spreadsheet) is
not a trivial task.

I thought that it was worth flagging, despite the fact that - in my case
at least - the details supplied in Hamelman's book have diminished my
needs for rescaled recipes.
