- Remove the hot casserole dish from the oven, dust the inside lightly with flour then lower in the dough. Cover with the lid and return to the oven.

How many servings do you think you will have from this? I am counting points in Weight Watchers
I think around 10 :)
One more thing, I am going to bake some pretty shortly here, is your 8 oz of flour, 1 cup of flour in the US?
BTW I am Tara in one of your groups
If you go to Helpful tips you will find a conversion chart :)
