What is compared?

The estimate accounts for typical protein, flour type, extraction rate, W value where known and granulation. Each flour receives a hydration offset; their difference is applied to your known hydration.

These profiles are not measurements for a particular bag of flour. Harvest, producer, dough temperature, resting time and mixing still matter. Start with the result and hold back a small amount of water while mixing.
