and today I thought I'd do a quick lore video it's a month sir probably one of the most commonly asked questions estate online community what is hydration so what is hydration and in the simplest terms water and it's the amount of water that's gone into your dough recipe it's usually referred to as a percentage if you've got 1,000 grams of flour and 600 grams of water that's considered as 60% of hydration so the lesser amount of water so a lot of hydration although it would be a lot easier to handle and work with it could give you a much drier more Ben's crust whereas the higher amount of water the higher hydration that you put into the dough the end result could give you a much nicer lighter air we crossed the 60% is you see that the dough itself is quite firm and it's not sticky whatsoever so you or you will find that this will be so much easier to ball up 65% it'll be so relatively easy to follow it's more tackier than the 60% with high hydration it will require quite a lot of practice so you see there's a lot of stretch here a lot stickier you have to be very quick you will find as well with high hydration after it's been bought off it will tend to relax even more I'm gonna put these in a tray and we'll see that the differences on how they drafted after they've been brushed and over a period we've got 60% 65% it's 70% for 60% less amount of water the dough itself is not sticky that's all 65% a little bit funky into person but it's still held its shape quite well I'm 70% you can see it's much yeah okay so because the 60% hydration does feel like it needs just a little bit more work so I'm just going to do very simple tomato base or some Grana Padano now we're gonna do the 65% hydration feels a lot whiter just to press that air into the crusts much easier to stretch out okay so this is the 70% much lighter of a thing with high hydration you see just need to be more gentle just take time [Music] this is the 60% hydration you just look slimmer Melek dance this is the does the bit lighter much softer and we have 70% it's really soft very light so if you want to play around with different levels of hydration in your dough very simple baby not every flower can handle high amounts of water so if you do when I play around with it might it will be is start low and work your way up until you find a consistency that you're confident and happy with [Music]
