So I’m working with the challah recipe from the Rose Levy Beranbaum Bread Bible. I’ve calculated a native hydration level of 47%, taking into account the water, eggs, honey & vinegar (total fluid quantity is 380g). The recipe calls for a total of 804g of flour, so it seems that to get to a hydration level of 75%, I’m going to have to add 223g of water. Does this seem right? There are 5 eggs, 142g water & 160g of honey. Thanks for your help!!
