A sprinkle, dump, or glob cook...like me!I’m too lazy and mathematically challenged to even attempt a complex recipe.I prefer mine where ingredients are clearly defined, no autolysing required…
I would never bake again!A sprinkle, dump, or glob cook...like me!
Probably my biggest challenge of gluten free cooking is that everything needs to be So. Darned. Precise. At least I have finallyforcedrehabilitated myself to lightly spoon gluten free flours into the measuring cup and level with a straight edge.
No more plowing a measuring cup through the container and using a quick shake to flatten the mound.
I rarely measure anything, and never precisely. I follow a recipe once, and do it my way after that.
It was an adjustment for sure.I would never bake again!
I was a bit confused on how to convert the percentages to gram measurements- would someone wiser than I mind helping? Thank y’all
I see that Ron answered you question very well.
Just wanted to add these values to clarify the recipe. at sourdough baking, so I am posting this only to clarify the recipe that was posted. I'm quite sure Ron's breads are more choice
than that posting.

Thanks Rich!I see that Ron answered you question very well.
They do not say what size of bread they are baking, so I took into consideration an average loaf size. Then I did my calculations in reverse to come up with the GRAMS.
3 cups AP flour,,, 330 g (75%)
1 cup Whole grain flour,, 110 g (25%)
330 g water for 75% hydration. = 11.6 oz
110 g of Starter (25%)
9 g of salt. = 1 Teaspoon. (2%)
@ronott1 Is a MASTER
Of course there are countless different recipes, and each has it purpose.
The 76,22% hydration value comes from the added starter hydration.

Happy Baking!
My GF bread got better when I got a (cheap) electronic kitchen scale. I do the little stuff like salt in volume measure, but the flour is by grams.
Would you believe I already have electronic scales? I sure don't use them for baking though. My dump cook self rebels!!
