^ What he said.
Even the brand of molasses you use. If you have a choice between 2 molasses brands, go for the one that is more readily available, so you can repeat on demand. Nothing worse than not being able to repeat because the stuff you got was given to you by your neighbor's uncles' girlfriend's cousin's redheaded bastard stepchild who went to Timbuckfuckingtoo and brought it back for you twelve years ago.

As someone who likes to bake, I learned something really important about 'specific amounts'. Don't use scoops or measure in volume (1 cup of this, 2 tablespoons of that). Professional bread artisans always go by weight. If you have 2 people scoop a cup of flour, it's never the same amount. 100 grams of flour, however, is always identical regardless of how many scoops it took you to get there. With a potent ingredient such as molasses, measure it on a gram scale to really know where you're at & how to adjust accordingly.
