Bakers Percentage and Converting Recipe to another Yield.
To compute the Baker’s Percentage, Total weight of Ingredient divided by total weight of the flour, result of that will multiply by 100% to get the percentage.
(total weight/ weight of the flour) x 100% = bakers percentage
*weight of flour always in 100%, whether you use 3 kinds of flour in one ingredients
EXAMPLE
INGRIDIENTS | WEIGHT |
Bread flour | 350g |
Salt | 10g |
Water | 120g |
Yeast | 10g |
Eggs | 60g |
Total weight Ingredients = 550g
COMPUTATION
Bread Flour – 100%
SALT 10g ÷ 350g x 100%= 2.9%
Water 120g ÷ 350g x 100%= 34.28%
Yeast 10g ÷ 350g x 100%= 2.85%
Eggs 60g ÷ 350g x 100%= 17.14 %
TOTAL =157.12%
CONVERTING RECIPE TO NEW YIELD
Sometimes in some of your production you just need more or less in standard recipe especially if you are working on a production with different volume of demands. Converting to another yield is important to avoid wastage and spoilage.
For example recipe above the total weight ingredients is 550grams that can make 22pcs of dinner rolls with the weight of 25g each but you need to produce 100 pcs of dinner rolls,which means that you need a 2500 total weight ingredients. To achieve that here is the formula.
desired weight(new recipe)/ total baker's percentage(first recipe)= needed amount in every ingredients.
Example
2500/157.12 = 15.91
Multiply 15.91 to percentage of each ingredients.
Ingredients | Weight | Percentage | Weight of new yield |
Bread flour | 350 | 100% x 15.91 | 1592 |
Salt | 10 | 2.85% x 15.91 | 45 |
Water | 120 | 34.28% x 15.91 | 545 |
Yeast | 10 | 2.85% x 15.91 | 45 |
eggs | 60 | 17.14% x 15.91 | 273 |
TOTAL = 2500
