Frequently Asked Questions
Hydration is the percentage of water relative to the total flour weight. For example, 75% hydration means 750g water per 1000g flour. Higher hydration yields a more open crumb.
The starter percentage (e.g., 20%) determines how much starter to use based on the total flour weight. The starter itself contains equal parts flour and water (100% hydration). The calculator accounts for the flour and water contributed by the starter.
Yes, you can. Simply enter the total flour weight as the amount of whole wheat flour (or a blend). The hydration may need adjustment as whole wheat absorbs more water.
