Baking Ratio Calculator

Formula

To calculate the baking ratio:

\[ BKR = \frac{IU}{IR} \]

Where:

\(BKR\) is the Baking Ratio
\(IU\) is the Total Ingredients Used
\(IR\) is the Total Ingredients Required by the Recipe

What is Baking Ratio?

The baking ratio is a measure used to determine the proportion of ingredients used relative to the ingredients required by the recipe. It helps in scaling recipes up or down and ensures that the correct balance of ingredients is maintained. This is crucial for achieving the desired texture, taste, and appearance in baked goods.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Ingredients Used (\(IU\)) = 400 grams
Total Ingredients Required by Recipe (\(IR\)) = 500 grams

Using the formula:

\[ BKR = \frac{400}{500} = 0.80 \]

The baking ratio is 0.80.
