Simple Sourdough Starter Discard Recipe Calculator
Fellow bakers-
There are so many great bread calculators available helping us in one way or another with bakers percentages. One that I could not find was a simple calculator to help maintain proper hydration levels when adding some percentage of discard to recipes that don't typically use sourdough, e.g. tortillas. So I created this calculator at www.pandulce.info which gives proper measures when replacing flour and water in a recipe with some percentage of sourdough discard having user selectable hydration levels. I also included a small handful of sample recipes which you can find in the navigation bar.
Two screens, that's it. Here's the landing screen:
Here's the screen that shows the calculated recipe after baking your original recipe:Would really appreciate any feedback from this forum of devoted bakers. I welcome critical comments about anything, including the look, feel, accuracy, recipes and any features you'd like to see.Thanks for your time. Happy baking!

Simplified the interface, and added a WYSIWIG editor and print button to preserve your recipe.
Happy baking!
