Bakers percentages are always expressed in relation to the flour. Flour=20
is always expressed as 100%.
That means, if you are using a kilo flour and the yeast was 2% it would=20
have to equal 20 gramms.
Easy to scale up or dow, always expressed accurately, whether you make a =

dough with a kilo or a ton of flour.

Bakers don't use volume, everything is expressed in weight.

--=20
