Final answer:

The weights of the other ingredients are:

bread flour - 19.58 oz, active dry yeast - 0.44 oz,

water - 23.76 oz, salt - 0.44 oz,

granulated sugar - 0.44 oz, nonfat dry milk powder - 0.44 oz,

shortening - 0.44 oz, unsalted butter, softened - 23.98 oz, eggs - 0.88 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the weights of the other ingredients, we can use the weight of the flour and the remaining ingredient percentages.

First, calculate the weight of each ingredient by multiplying the weight of the flour by the corresponding percentage:

Bread flour: 44 oz x 0.445

= 19.58 oz

Active dry yeast: 44 oz x 0.01

= 0.44 oz

Water: 44 oz x 0.54

= 23.76 oz

Salt: 44 oz x 0.01

= 0.44 oz

Granulated sugar: 44 oz x 0.01

= 0.44 oz

Nonfat dry milk powder: 44 oz x 0.01

= 0.44 oz

Shortening: 44 oz x 0.01

= 0.44 oz

Unsalted butter, softened: 44 oz x 0.545

= 23.98 oz

Eggs: 44 oz x 0.02

= 0.88 oz

So, the weights of the other ingredients are:

Bread flour: 19.58 oz

Active dry yeast: 0.44 oz

Water: 23.76 oz

Salt: 0.44 oz

Granulated sugar: 0.44 oz

Nonfat dry milk powder: 0.44 oz

Shortening: 0.44 oz

Unsalted butter, softened: 23.98 oz

Eggs: 0.88 oz.
