How do you figure out how much moister, by percentage, is in your dough?

the water by the amount of flour

 

e.g. 300g flour and 198mls (= 198g) of water = 66% hydration

198/300=0.66 then x 100 to get percentage = 66%

This is for a plain sourdough - Flour + Water + Salt.

If you make other kinds of breads which includes eggs or honey etc they have to be taken into consideration.
