About the Dough Hydration Calculator
Calculate the liquid-to-flour percentage used to describe a dough formula.
Formula
Hydration equals total liquid weight divided by flour weight, multiplied by 100.
Example
325 g water with 500 g flour gives 65% hydration.
Notes
This mathematical ratio does not account for water contained inside other ingredients unless entered as additional liquid.
