Split a divided ingredient by its recipe stages

When an ingredient is marked divided, find every place it is used before adding the full listed amount to a bowl.

1. Read the method and list each use of that ingredient, such as dough, filling and topping. Copy the amount assigned to each stage in the recipe's own unit.
2. Add those amounts and check that they match the listed total. If a stage says remaining, calculate the remainder after the earlier specified amounts; do not assume the parts are equal.
3. Measure separate portions when practical and label them by stage. Keep the portion needed later apart from the ingredients you are currently combining.

If the numbers do not reconcile, check for an additional quantity listed elsewhere or a publisher correction. Resolve the discrepancy before mixing, since using the entire total early can leave nothing for a later step.
