Jinsi ya kukokotoa Sourdough

Sourdough ni nini?

Sourdough baking uses baker's percentages where all ingredient quantities are expressed as a percentage of total flour weight. This allows recipes to scale easily to any batch size. The starter (levain) contributes its own flour and water to the dough.

Fomula

Hydration % = Water weight ÷ Flour weight × 100

Mwongozo wa Hatua kwa Hatua

  1. 1Set total flour as 100% — all other ingredients are percentages of this
  2. 2Hydration % = Water weight ÷ Flour weight × 100
  3. 3Starter % = Starter weight ÷ Flour weight × 100
  4. 4A 100% hydration starter contains equal weights of flour and water
  5. 5Adjust the main water to account for water already in the starter

Mifano Iliyotatuliwa

Ingizo
500g flour, 75% hydration, 20% starter
Matokeo
375g water total, 100g starter
Main water = 375 − 50 = 325g (50g from starter)
Ingizo
1000g flour, 80% hydration, 15% starter
Matokeo
800g water, 150g starter
Starter provides 75g flour + 75g water
