What is baker's percentage?

Baker's percentage expresses every ingredient as a percentage of flour weight (flour is always 100%). A dough with 65% water means 65g water per 100g flour. This makes scaling and adjusting recipes mathematically precise.

What is dough hydration?

Hydration is the water percentage in a dough. Low hydration (55-65%) gives denser, easier-to-handle doughs. High hydration (75-85%) gives open, airy crumb but requires more skill to shape.
