dough hydration including preferment calculator online

Use dough hydration including preferment online for main flour g, main water g, preferment g, preferment hydration pct. Mass-balance or geometry model with the stated convention. No cooking safety, fermentation time, dietary suitability or preservation method is prescribed.

How to use it

Enter main flour g. Set main water g, preferment g, preferment hydration pct. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
main flour gMain input. Positive values. 500
main water gOption. Zero or positive values. 300
preferment gOption. Zero or positive values. 100
preferment hydration pctOption. Positive values. 100

Calculation method

total_flour_g = main_flour_g+preferment_g/(1+preferment_hydration_pct/100); hydration_pct = 100*(main_water_g+preferment_g*preferment_hydration_pct/(100+preferment_hydration_pct))/(main_flour_g+preferment_g/(1+preferment_hydration_pct/100)) (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

}

Choose the right tool

Bakers percentages use flour as the reference; solution percentages use total solution mass. Preferment hydration changes both total flour and total water. Pan-volume estimates do not set cooking times or food-safety procedures.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Mass-balance or geometry model with the stated convention. No cooking safety, fermentation time, dietary suitability or preservation method is prescribed.
  • Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
