We have a very nice one that we use often.  It has a tare setting, i.e.
you put a container on it and then push a button.  The scale then
starts out at 0 taking the container weight into account.  It can easily
switch between ounces, pounds, grams or kilograms.  Weight range is from
a fraction of an ounce to at least five pounds.

    In a small, shallow bowl, sprinkle the yeast and the 1/2 teaspoon of
  sugar over the lukewarm milk.  Let it stand for 2 or 3 minutes, then
  stir to dissolve the yeast completely.  Set the bowl in a warm, draft
  free place (such as an unlighted oven) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until
  the mixture doubles in volume.
    Combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and
  the salt in a deep mixing bowl.  Make a well in the center, and add
  the yeast and the 2 eggs.  Gently stir the center ingredients
  together with a large spoon, then gradually incorporate the flour and
  continue beating until all the ingredients are well combined.  beat
  in the 8 tablespoons of butter and lemon peel, add up to 1 cup more
  flour, beating it n a few tablespoons at a time and using as much as
  necessary to from a dough that can be gathered into a soft and still
  somewhat sticky ball. (When the dough becomes difficult to stir
  easily, work in the flour with your fingers.)
    Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, and knead it by
  pressing it down, pushing it forward several times with the heel of
  your hand, and folding it back on itself.  Repeat for about 10
  minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.  sprinkle the
  dough with a little extra flour from time to time to prevent it from
  sticking to the board.
    Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a large, lightly
  buttered bowl.  Dust the top with a little flour, drape with a
  kitchen towel and set aside in a warm, draft free place for about 1
  hour until the dough doubles in bulk.
    With a pastry brush, coat a baking sheet with the tablespoon of
  softened butter.  Punch the dough down with a single blow of your
  fist, then transfer it to a lightly floured surface.  To shape the
  dough into a snail like loaf, roll it into a thick rope about 2
  inches in diameter and 24 inches long.  Starting at one end, loop the
  rope into a circle about 6 inches in diameter, and then into ever
  smaller concentric circles. Carefully transfer the loaf to the baking
  sheet and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F).  Press the dyed egg gently
  into the center and brush the top of the loaf with the beaten egg
  yolk. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 45 minutes, or until
  golden brown and crusty. Cool completely on a cake rack before
  serving.
