Given a paragraph about cooking, and a set of conversational question answers about the paragraph, answer a follow-up question from the paragraph. The paragraph has a prefix 'CONTEXT:'. Each conversation question has a prefix 'Q:' followed by answer prefix 'A:'. The final followup question has a prefix 'FOLLOWUP_Q:'.

CONTEXT: I understand that sugar (and by extension jaggery) helps yeast multiply at a very fast paceThis is only partly true. Yeast is a living organism and can only live under certain conditions, including a certain osmotic pressure. If you start from pure bread dough, then adding a bit of sugar to the dough (or to the preferment) can make it rise faster. But adding sugar in quantities sufficient to make the bread taste sweet will slow down the yeast growth, as opposed to making it quicker. There is even an upper limit for how much sugar you can add per 100 g of flour, and it's not recommended to use recipes which prescribe more, as they turn out poorly. So I wouldn't change the amount of yeast, unless you make the empirical observation that your yeast is overfed (recognizable by speed of raising and the changed smell).  <sep>  Q: Sugar and yeast proportion while making sweet bread A: If you start from pure bread dough, then adding a bit of sugar to the dough (or to the preferment) can make it rise faster  Q: Should I decrease the amount of yeast used? A: There is even an upper limit for how much sugar you can add per 100 g of flour, and it's not recommended to use recipes which prescribe more  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: s there a rule or ratio by which I must decrease the yeast for every unit of sugar added?
There is even an upper limit for how much sugar you can add per 100 g of flour

CONTEXT: Water absorption by flour varies by variety, brand, and even batch within brand. For example, I have an American bread book where I quite often have to use far more water than the recipe suggests to achieve the consistency stated. This is down to my British flour apparently absorbing more water.Therefore, it's a good idea to simply use enough flour to get the desired consistency rather than worry too much about being precise. Having said that, when it comes to bread, wetter is better, so only add enough so that you can just work it comfortably.  <sep>  Q: Salt stick dough and shaping, any ideas ? A: when it comes to bread, wetter is better, so only add enough so that you can just work it comfortably  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: The dough is sticky, should I weigh the ingredients as opposed to measuring?

CONTEXT: The key difference from my perspective is cleaning. Silicone is the easiest material in my kitchen to scrub clean, with the possible exception of stainless steel. Cloth is very far down the list.Also, depending on the texture of the cloth, more food will almost certainly stick to the cloth, unless it's sealed with something, in which case what is it sealed with? And how is it sealing the fiberglass in?I use the kind with a thin grid of fibers inside the silicone. It adds more stability and lets the overall thickness be thinner for better heat transmission, compared to a plain silicone silpat. As long as I don't use it as a cutting board, the fiberglass stays safely inside. It does add a very slight grid texture to the bottom of loaves, but it's barely noticeable and doesn't look bad at all.The pyramid kind, which would reduce food contact and increase drainage and airflow, sounds like it would be good for specific applications, but not something I'd make a batch of cookies on.  <sep>  Q: What are some differences between cloth, fiberglass and silicone baking mats? A: The key difference from my perspective is cleaning. Silicone is the easiest material in my kitchen to scrub clean, with the possible exception of stainless steel. Cloth is very far down the list  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What are some characteristics of the fiberglass baking mat?
