I've found a few good artisinal cracker recipes on the web, and a few in my cook books, but I‘ll be darned if I can find a basic baker’s percentage! Most of the recipes I’ve researched vary widely in the amounts of basic ingredients, so the ratios are different for each recipe. A formula would invaluable, as I’m eager to create my own crackers (now that I’ve completely mastered the art of bread. Not).
my thanks for any help you can give!
Joel, I have a Dough Calculator available for download here

On the Calculator page there is a table that will allow you to enter your ingredient weights and it will convert to Baker's Percentage. Even if you choose to use a manual calculator to determine percentages, this may help you to understand the method.
HTH,
Dan
this will come in very handy, when I figure out how to download it!
