Short answer

How do I turn my recipe weights into baker's percentages?

Paste your list of ingredient weights into your AI chat. The AI uses the recipe_to_baker_percentage tool to set the flour as 100% and calculate every other ingredient as a percentage of that weight. You'll get a clean list of ratios ready for scaling.

The results

What you get from the conversion

The AI processes your raw data into these specific formats.

RATIOS

Proportional percentages

The AI calculates every ingredient relative to the flour weight. You get a standard baker's percentage list.

SCALING

Ready for batching

Once you have the percentages, you can tell your AI to scale the recipe to any total weight or flour amount.

CLEANUP

Formatted lists

The AI organizes the output into a readable format. It strips out the extra text and gives you just the numbers and names.

HUMAN

Final recipe check

You review the calculated ratios to ensure the hydration and salt levels match your specific dough requirements.

The workflow

What your AI does when the weights arrive.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of the math so you don't have to use a calculator.

  1. Parse weights

    The AI identifies the flour and the weight of every other ingredient in your list.

FAQ

How the conversion works

  • 01

    Does the AI change my original recipe weights?

    No. The AI only calculates the percentages based on the weights you provide. It does not modify your source data.

  • 02

    Can the AI scale my recipe after converting it?

    Yes. Once the AI has the baker's percentages, you can ask it to recalculate the weights for a different total amount of flour.

  • 03

    What happens if I forget to include the flour weight?

    The tool requires a flour weight to establish the 100% base. If it's missing, the AI will ask you for it.

  • 04

    Can the AI automatically update my spreadsheet?

    No. This MCP only performs the calculations. You must manually copy the results back into your sheets or documents.

  • 05

    Does it work with metric and imperial units?

    Yes. As long as your weights are consistent, the AI handles the math regardless of the unit used.
