What is the Sourdough Calculator & How does it work?
A sourdough is a type of bread made using naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeast. These microorganisms ferment the dough, giving it its characteristic tangy flavor.
To make sourdough, you need to maintain a starter, which is a mixture of flour and water that has been fermented for several days. The amount of starter needed depends on the hydration level of your dough and the desired final bread weight.
\text{Starter Amount} = \frac{\text{Final Bread Weight}}{1 + (\text{Hydration Level} / 100)} – \text{Flour Weight}
