Sourdough Recipe Calculator — Baker's Percentages
Scale sourdough recipes by dough weight. Calculate hydration, starter, and salt using baker's percentages.
Recipe
500g atta/maida, 375g water, 100g starter, 10g salt। Starter must be active (doubles in 4-6h)। Indian wheat (atta): makes denser, nuttier sourdough — delicious! Maida: lighter crumb like European bread।
India Sourdough
Sourdough culture growing in Indian cities। Instagram bakeries: Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi। Indian atta sourdough: unique flavor profile that international bakers love।
The most common sourdough failure: under-fermentation (dense, gummy crumb) or over-fermentation (flat, sour, collapsed). The fix is not a different recipe — it is learning to read your dough. The "poke test" (poke the dough; if it springs back slowly, it is ready) is the single most important skill in sourdough baking.
