I don't bake. What's does 82% mean?
Hey Vex_Detrause
good question
The 82% is the hydration of the dough. Basically, how much water is added.
also known as "bakers percentage"
The higher the hydration to wetter and more difficult the dough is to handle.
The benfits are that you end up with much larger holes in the crumb. As per sourdoughs and classic French and Italian breads.
you can work out the hydration of any dough by dividing the water by the flour, multiplied by 100.
1000g flour and 820g water
python in the terminal
820/1000 0.82
0.82*100 82.0
generally, a basic simple home made loaf will be about 65% hydration.
1000g flour and 650g water.
650/1000 0.65
0.65*100 65.0
Its just the amount of water divided by the amount of flour as a percent. 82% is high hydration, meaning the finished bread is nice and chewy.
Saving this one to my mealie instance, thanks for sharing 🥰
gorgeous!
thank you
