Additions

I would like to add some spinach and  feta to my sourdough recipe, but unsure of the amounts, any ideas ?  Thanks.

I find recipes that have add ins and use the same proportions. 

Find one with cheese and something else then do a swap. 

so adding it will change the hydration of your dough, perhaps a fair bit depending on how much you use. 

Obviously, feta has moisture too, but since the % is lower, it shouldn't affect the hydration as much. 

As to how much you might use, I've never put either in a bread. I don't know how much it will help if at all, but I often use 10-20% of harder cheeses like cheddar.   

the dough like it was a pizza...  put on the amount of cheese and wrung out spinach (perhaps cut up too) about it, like how much you like on a pizza.  Then roll it up and seal the ends or knead it into the dough.   That might give you a good approximation of how much is needed. 

What is the total weight of the recipe dough?

Thanks Mini Oven, but I follow recipes mainly, so most of the time I don't weight the dough.  I just found this bakery in Charlottesville, VA, an hour and half away from where I live and they make a Spinach-Feta loaf and I would love to make one.  I might just ask them for some pointers when I go to pick up some bread.  I appreciate your suggestions though, thank you again.
