Hydration Guide

  • 50-57%: Bagels, pretzels (stiff dough)
  • 58-65%: Sandwich bread, rolls

  • Exemple Résolu

    Calculate hydration for 500 g flour and 350 g water.

    1. 01Hydration = (water / flour) x 100.
    2. 02Hydration = (350 / 500) x 100 = 70%.
    3. 03This is a moderately wet dough suitable for artisan bread.

    Questions Fréquentes

    What is a good hydration for beginners?

    Start with 60-65% hydration. The dough is easier to handle. As you gain experience, try higher hydrations for more open crumb structure.

    Does milk count as hydration?

    Yes, but milk is about 87% water. If using 100 g milk, count about 87 g toward hydration.

    How does hydration affect bread texture?

    Higher hydration produces larger holes and a chewier crumb. Lower hydration gives a tighter, softer crumb that is better for sandwiches.
