Useful next steps

All flour is 100%

Enter each flour separately, then the other ingredient weights. A recipe with 400 g bread flour and 100 g rye flour has a 500 g flour basis. Its 350 g water is 70%, even though the whole recipe weighs more.

Scale the whole formula

Choose a target flour weight. Doubling the flour doubles each ingredient. Split starter into flour and water first if you want overall hydration rather than an undivided starter percentage.
