How to Use the Sourdough Calculator
- Set Your Parameters: Begin by setting your desired dough weight per loaf, the number of loaves, and your levain's hydration percentage.
- Adjust Percentages: Modify the baker's percentages for each ingredient. The total flour percentage should always add up to 100%.
- Select Levain Flour: If you're using multiple flours, specify which one your levain is made from using the dropdown menu for an accurate calculation.
- Avoid Double Counting Levain Components: Do not add the flour and water that make up your levain as separate ingredients. The calculator automatically accounts for the flour and water within your levain based on its percentage and hydration.
- Add or Remove Ingredients: Customize your recipe by adding or removing flour types or inclusions.
- Review Your Final Recipe: The 'Final Recipe' card will update in real-time, showing you the precise weight for each ingredient based on your settings.
