What is a bread percentage?
Bakers use bread percentages to easily and accurately scale recipes to any desired amount
Cup measures tend to be inaccurate so weight by grams is preferred to replicate results
Flour is always the base 100% and all other ingredients are percents relative to the flour

Example:
Mr. Carpenter wants to make 1000g of pizza dough. He knows that pizza dough needs 59% hydration and 1.5% salt. How much flour, water, and salt is needed?
100% (flour) + 59% (water) + 1.5% (salt) = 160.5% total
1000g/1.605 = 623g of flour
623g x .59 = 368g of water
623g x .015 = 9g of salt
623g + 368g + 9g = 1000g total

Now you try!
You need to make 500g of brioche dough for fresh made buns. Given that the baker's percent for brioche is 100-22-2-133 (Flour-water-salt-butter), how much of each ingredient is needed?
