You're Calculating Your Dough Hydration Incorrectly. Here's Why.
The Hydration level of your starter can have a big influence on your final dough hydration. Thanks to @amandaaacr for the question. This is just my opinion on how Starter Hydration affects the final dough. My name is Duncan, I recently returned to work baking bread after a stint in hospital for a stem cell transplant, which involves chemotherapy to treat Cancer (Multiple Myeloma) which I was diagnosed with last year. If you would like to donate to my ever growing medical bills you can do so here, any amount helps https://paypal.me/duncanssmith #bread #cancer
