Here are the key steps to convert a formula using baker's percentage:
1. Identify the main ingredient (usually flour) and set it to 100%
2. Calculate the percentage of each additional ingredient based on the amount of the main ingredient
3. To scale up or down, adjust the amount of the main ingredient and keep the same percentages for the other ingredients
For example, if you want to convert the formula to ounces but keep the same percentages:
- Flour is still set at 100%
- Yeast is 1% of flour, so it's still 1%
- Salt is 1% of flour, so it's still 1%
- Sugar is 5% of flour,
