Frequently Asked Questions
Hydration is the ratio of water to flour, expressed as a percentage. Higher hydration yields a more open crumb and crispier crust.
Yes, but whole wheat flour absorbs more water, so you may need to increase hydration by 5-10%.
Sticky dough can be due to high hydration or insufficient kneading. Try reducing hydration by 5% or kneading longer.
