75% hydration sourdough with 1000g flour
The answer
For a 75% hydration sourdough with 1000 g flour and 20% starter: weigh 725 g water, 200 g starter and 22 g salt.
| Ingredient | Grams | % of total flour |
|---|---|---|
| Flour | 1,000 g | 90.9% |
| Water | 725 g | 65.9% |
| Starter (100% hydration) | 200 g | 18.2% |
| Salt | 22 g | 2% |
| Total dough | 1,947 g |
Total flour 1,100 g and total water 825 g with the starter counted: 825 ÷ 1,100 = 75%.
How it is worked out
200 g of a 100% starter is 100 g flour and 100 g water. With it, the dough has 1,100 g of flour, so 75% hydration means 825 g of water in total. The starter already brings 100 g, so you add 725 g. Salt is 2% of the total flour.
