Baker's scale. Am I getting this right?
This is an example. Trying to wrap my head around this.
Let's say there is a recipe that makes one 15 inch loaf. Calls for 5 cups of flour. 20 oz water.
I would like to make this recipe fit two nine inch pans. Estimate seven cups of flour.
reference,
1 cup of flour = 5.5 oz
1 oz water = both weight and volume.
They call for five cups of flour and 20 oz water. Flour = 100% ( 27.5 oz = 100% ) The water would be 75% of the 100% flour. To get this to fill two nine inch pans I want to use seven cups of flour. Flour =100% ( 38.5 oz =100% ) The amount of water at 75% would then be roughly 34 oz. Or 75% of the new 100%. Yeast and salt treated the same.
Am I getting this right?
Thanks!
