basic information about recipes with yeast

bread can be made with yeast or sourdough or both. yeast and sourdough serve to make the dough loose. this creates the desired air bubbles in the bread.
all percentages in the recipes refer to the total amount of flour.
bread dough should always contain 75% liquid, 2% salt and 1-2% yeast and a pinch of sourdough starter. you should knead with the dough kneading machine for approx. 10 minutes by hand for 20-30 minutes. all dough recipes are given for 1kg or 2kg flour. if you want to bake more bread, you can simply extrapolate the recipes. always start with the amount of flour. in order to determine the amount of bread from the amount of dough, you can deduct approx. 12% water loss during baking. e.g. 850g of dough makes approx. 750g of bread.
