Frequently Asked Questions
Sourdough hydration is the ratio of water to flour in a sourdough starter or dough, expressed as a percentage. It determines the dough's consistency and crumb structure.
Divide the weight of water by the weight of flour and multiply by 100. For example, 350g water / 500g flour = 70% hydration.
Typical hydration ranges from 60% (stiff) to 80% (very wet). 70-75% is common for artisan bread. Higher hydration yields larger holes but is harder to handle.
