Why this Sourdough Baker’s Percentage Calculator is so helpful:

The Baker’s Percentage Calculator takes the guesswork out of scaling your sourdough recipes. Whether you're working with a small batch or scaling up for a larger one, this tool ensures that your ingredient ratios stay consistent. By inputting the total flour weight and percentages for water, starter, and salt, you'll instantly get the exact amounts needed for each ingredient. This is particularly helpful for adjusting hydration levels or tweaking your dough’s consistency to achieve your desired results. It’s a great way to experiment with different hydration levels and keep your sourdough baking precise, every time!

How to Use Calculator:

​

1️⃣ Enter the total weight of flour (in grams) for your recipe. This will be the base for all other ingredient calculations.

2️⃣ Input the percentage of water in your dough. For example, if you want a hydration of 75%, enter 75. The calculator will adjust the amount of water accordingly.

​

3️⃣ Enter the percentage of starter you’re using. This is typically based on the total flour weight, like 25% starter for a 1:1 starter-to-flour ratio.

​

4️⃣ Input the percentage of salt in your dough. A common amount is around 2%, but feel free to adjust this based on your recipe.
