Calculation methodology

Formulas, assumptions, limitations and interpretation of results.

Core formulas

Baker’s percentage = ingredient weight ÷ total flour weight × 100. Hydration = total water ÷ total flour × 100. Starter is split into flour and water using its hydration.

Water temperature

The module uses a four-factor formula: 4 × desired dough temperature minus flour, room and preferment temperature and the friction factor. An extreme result is a prompt to recheck inputs.

Sources and quality control

The basis is standard baker’s percentage notation. The service uses only user-entered weights and parameters; it does not predict fermentation from a universal table.

Limitations

Biological fermentation is not a clock. Schedules, yeast conversions and water temperature are planning aids, not guarantees or dietary advice.
