Secondly, measure your ingredients with cups meant for measuring dry ingredients and not liquids because even if they hold the same volume, their shape is different and serves a different purpose.

The unopened packets last for a year, so check the expiration date before using. The resulting loaf of bread will fill up your kitchen with a delicious onion aroma.
