Sourdough Baking Guide

Hydration

Absorbs water moderately. Adjust hydration up slightly when blending.

Recommended range: 68–78%

Gluten

None — must blend with gluten-containing flour

Fermentation Speed

Ferments at standard speed, similar to bread flour.

Tips

  • 1.No gluten — use as 10–25% of total flour blended with bread flour.
  • 2.Adds a sweet, golden character and slightly gritty texture.
  • 3.Not the same as cornmeal (which is coarser) or masa harina (which is nixtamalized).
