What is a sourdough starter feeding ratio?

A sourdough starter feeding ratio, commonly written as 1:1:1 or 1:2:2, represents the proportion of starter, flour, and water used in a feeding. For example, a 1:2:2 ratio means you are feeding 1 part starter with 2 parts flour and 2 parts water by weight.

What is inoculation percentage?

Inoculation percentage is the weight of the starter expressed as a percentage of the total flour weight in the final dough. It's a key factor in controlling the fermentation time of your bread.
