How much powdered sugar should be used ...
... to replace granulated sugar in a bread recipe?
Is there a general rule for this type of substitution? By volume? By weight?
Would the proportion depend on the type of bread?
Unfortunately, I only have powdered sugar end brown sugar readily available.
Thanks!

For a bread recipe, you could probably get away with a simplified substitution of using an amount of powdered sugar equal in weight to the amount of granulated sugar. Powdered sugar takes up a much higher volume than granulated, so substituting by volume is trickier.
If you want to be exact, powdered sugar is 3% cornstarch by weight, so you would increase the weight slightly to account for that.
