Hello! and recipe fix
Hi, Just a friendly note that the quantities of this recipe (http://www.thefreshloaf.com//handbook/san-francisco-style-sourdough) are off.. I noticed when the final mix was waay too dry.
300g of 100% hydration starter has 150 g of flour and 150 g of water
150 + 500g flour = 650 TOTAL fl
150 + 210g water = 360 TOTAL water
360/650 = 0.553846153.... x 100 = 55% hydration
The correct amount of water for 72% hydration should be:
650 x .72 = 468 - 150 = 318g of water
also, 2% of 650 = 13g of salt instead of 10.
Current state recipe copied below.
Formula:
White flour: 100%
