Baker’s percentage calculator
Express every ingredient relative to flour and scale a dough batch.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Flour is 100%; each other ingredient’s percentage is its weight divided by flour weight × 100. Scales all four ingredients proportionally to the target dough weight. Includes only ingredients entered here, without inferring other flour or water.
