Hello everyone at TFL, and happy holidays! I got to thinking about hydration in breads and created a handy calculator to assist me. I would like to share it with you, so I made it shareable via a link to my Google drive:

It looks roughly like this...
Hydration Calculator | |||||||
Additions: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | |
Flour (g) | 0 | ||||||
Liquid (g) | 0 | ||||||
Hydration % | 0.0% | ||||||

To achieve: | 75% | You need: | 0 | ||||
To achieve: | 80% | You need: | 0 | ||||
To achieve: | 85% | You need: | 0 | ||||
To achieve: | 90% | You need: | 0 | ||||
To achieve: | 95% | You need: | 0 | ||||
To achieve: | 100% | You need: | 0 |
Enter your flours measured in grams in any of the 6 boxes under the addition number, then liquid amounts. The calculator will let you know how much liquid is needed to get to your approximate target.
My pleasure.
A handy tool!
