Formula and example

How it is calculated

Hydration = water / flour × 100; total mass = flour + water + salt

Worked example

500 g flour and 350 g water gives 70% hydration. With 10 g salt, the total mass is 860 g.

Things to check

  • Include flour and water from preferments in the totals. Other ingredients are not added to the dough mass here.
