How This Works
Baker's percentages express every ingredient as a percentage of the flour weight, which stays fixed at 100%. It's how professional bakeries scale recipes of any size without re-measuring proportions from scratch — the ratios above are common starting points, not fixed rules, and can be adjusted to taste or texture.
