If you've ever wanted to scale up or down a bread recipe, baker's percentages and this page will help you do that. If you've ever wanted to understand what all those percentages and prefermented flour labels are in my posts and bread books, this post will help you do that, too. This introduction to baker's percentages is a place to dig into that not-so-scary math behind baking formulas.

TPL Members have access to my suite of baking spreadsheets which makes creating and editing bread formulas much easier. In other words, you don't have to worry too much about the ins and outs of baker's percentages; the spreadsheets do all the heavy lifting.
The Total Formula table (see earlier in this post) is a snapshot of the entire formula, taking the levain into account: the total flour required, the total liquid, total fats, total sugars, and so on. In addition, the TF table also shows the baker's percentages for everything so you can get a sense of the recipe outright (as I discussed at the beginning of this post).
For those of us who are conflict avoidant, learning to speak truth to people in authority can be developed gradually over time, like doing physical therapy for a weak or injured muscle. We cultivate the ability to confront by starting with small steps, asking questions or pointing out minor problems. We can then move to more significant issues by offering alternative perspectives that may not be popular. Over time, we can grow to be more courageous so that if we are aware of a significant moral failure like sexual abuse by a colleague or a superior, we can hopefully speak truth in a wise and gracious manner. On the other side of the equation, wise leaders make it easy for their subordinates to hold them accountable and raise issues. When you function as a leader, what do you do to welcome or solicit negative feedback from others?
