Bread-Bakers v105.n010.9

Hi Mary,

Here's how I figured out how much gluten to add.

WARNING: HIGH SCHOOL MATH AHEAD!

Assume:
Regular bread flour = 12.5% gluten
Gluten = 100% gluten
Super high gluten flour = 14% gluten

Let X = amount of bread flour
Let Y = amount of gluten

If you want C oz. of high gluten flour,  you know

X + Y = C
0.14 = (0.125*X + Y)/(X + Y)

We have two equations and two unknowns so we can solve for X and Y to get

X = C * 0.86/0.875
Y = C - X

Hope this helps!
