Slight increase in ingredients - need simple formula

Due to health issues, it's been a long time since I've been active, but I have been lurking all along.  I'm starting to bake a little and have a conundrum that I could use a little of your help with.  I know this is going to sound totally idiotic, but I'm not the best when it comes to math.  Here's what I'm trying to do.  I found a recipe for Schlotsky's sandwich loaves that are great and I love them, however, it only makes enough for 3 - 6 inch pans.  I would like to add enough ingredients to use 4 - 6 inch pans.  I've tried every formula and ingredient calculator known to man and can't seem to find anything simple enough for my elderly brain.  If anyone knows a simple formula I would truly appreciate your sharing with me.

The ingredients are as follows:

2 cups bread flour

2 teaspoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup lukewarm milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

Thanks again,

Carol

 

 

Carole, I think this will work for you.

The numbers in perentheses are exact, I rounded off for you.

2 3/4 (2.66) cups flour

2 3/4 (2.66) teaspoon sugar

1/3 (.332) teaspoon baking soda

1 cup (1.0) cup milk

3/4 (.664) teaspoon salt

 

By-the-way - the formula I used was to divide each ingredient by 3 to determine what was needed for 1 loaf. Then multiply that times 4 to get the needed amount for 4 loaves.

Hope this helps

Yea, you right Paul. I rounded up because I didn’t think see had a way to measure 1/3 or 2/3 teaspoon.

An engineer, that’s funny. <LOL> I’m no engineer, but I have a heck of a time letting little things go. Still laughing out loud :)  

Would you believe I use a pipette to measure the water for my starter? I’m coming out of the closet now. It’s sad, but true.
