Is the Brennenstuhl 1298680 MD *really* as big as the quoted size: 26.5 x 14 x 4 cm? If not, could someone provide the correct product dinemsions?

No it is not. The total size of the packaging is LxWxD (mm) 270x145x40, the size of the meter itself is LxWxD (mm) 150x65x25. I hope this helps.

Can this be used for bread dough? I’ll accept some ridicule.

No ridicule. I'm full of admiration for your interesting take on this. You know when you make a Christmas cake in September and then dose it regularly with a beverage of your choosing, administered by injection? I think I could see an application there around gauging dosage. How tipsy is this cake? How many mls of whatever shall we give it this week? Is it uniformly puddled or are we missing some bits? And how about whether we've watered the Monsterosa house plant or the spider plant too much or too little, although I gather spider plants are virtually impossible to kill - I've never managed it and I'm a serial killer of houseplants. I think you've given us all lovely food (bread) for thought.

The Manual I received with it is in German. Do you have an English Version? Either paper or electronic would do.

An English version of the manual can be found on the Brennenstuhl.com website. Search for the moisture meter, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on downloads. The English version can be found on Page 6 of the instruction download
