About Sourdough Hydration Adjuster
Sourdough Hydration Adjuster is a focused, independent web utility that helps home bakers fix dough consistency on the fly. If your sourdough starter or final dough is too wet or too dry, this tool calculates exactly how much flour or water to add to reach your target hydration percentage—no guesswork, no wasted ingredients.
What You Can Do Here
Enter your current starter or dough weight and its current hydration, then set your desired hydration. The calculator instantly shows the precise amount of flour or water needed to adjust the mixture. It works for both starters and final doughs, whether you are building a levain or correcting a batch that got away from you.

Baking by feel is rewarding, but sometimes numbers save the day. This tool was built to give bakers a quick, reliable reference that lives at a simple, memorable domain. There is no account to create, no app to download—just a clean calculator that respects your privacy and runs entirely in your browser.
