Advantages
Baker's percentage enables the user to:
- more accurately compare recipes (i.e. which is drier, saltier, sweeter, etc.);
- spot bad recipes or predict their baked characteristics;
- alter or add a single-ingredient percentage without changing the other ingredients' percentages;
- uniformly measure ingredients such as eggs, commonly used in baking, where the quantity per unit may vary;
- accurately and easily scale for different batch sizes.
