Baker's percentage Spreadsheet
My wonderful engineering husband was watching me do calculations by hand yesterday. He does everything on the computer. Anyway, he was kind enough to write a small program on an excel spreadsheet that does my calculations for me. I can share it with anyone that would like, if you'd like to send me a message for a request. It's so simple! You can input the total amount of either dough or flour that you want and the percent of the different ingredients, the calculator will fill in the number of grams for each ingredient for you.
Say you have the baker's percentage for something out of Hamelman's Bread, which gives you the percentage and for some crazy reason has the metric for "36" loaves, US measurements and volumes for the home baker and still gives me the amount for "3" loaves which is too much. I want to bake only one loaf. So, I fill in the amount of dough, say for sake of this exercise 1,000 grams. Fill in the percentages of each ingredient and I know exactly how much I need, in grams to use. It is so slick!
No more conversion charts for me!

Hello there Tracy,
Thanks for your generosity! As an artist I find my brain starts to ache just thinking of doing the conversions. This will be soooo helpful for Hamelman's book.
My email is rasabasart@gmail.com
Oh and be sure to tell your husband I send a big thanks to him as well.
Happy baking,
Anne

So I've not paid attention to who and how to request a copy of this. I think I finally am asking the right person. If you still have a copy I'd appreciate it.

Hi Doc,
Happy New Year! I would really appreciate a copy of the Baker's Spread Sheet that you and your husband made up. I'm weak on Baker's Math and is THE major thing I plan on tackling this year.
My email is NMICHEL@rochester.rr.com.
Thank you very much.
Happy Baking!!

I also did an Excel version of the formulas in Advanced Bread Baking and Pasrty by Michel Suas after I returned from their Artisan II class. I also am an engineer.
Send his to me and I will get back to you on how they compare.

I is amusing seeing all of these requests for this spread sheet. Does it exist? Has anyone received one ?
Dolf S. made a bread calc spreadsheet so powerful the lights go dim in my house when I use it.
He posted it on Fresh loaf, here is the link:
http://www.starreveld.com/Baking/
He answered a lot of questions on Fresh loaf so I if you have problems you might find an answer by putting Dolf in the Fresh loaf search box.
Alas, it will not work on Mac and you must enable macros to unleash its mind boggling power.
Thanks Dolf. THis is the best I have seen.
I would love to have a copy of your spreadsheet.
Thank you Pastry Chef and Amateur Baker.
