Baker's Percentages

Flour: 100% | Water: 75% | Starter: 20% | Salt: 2%

Starter contributes 46g flour and 46g water to the dough.

Understanding Baker's Percentages

Baker's percentages express each ingredient as a percentage of the total flour weight. Hydration is the water-to-flour ratio. A 75% hydration dough has 750g water per 1000g flour. Higher hydration creates a more open crumb but is harder to handle.
