That's interesting. I do bake but I'm no expert. My wettest doughs are 75%. That recipe is a bit more than 100%. I didn't think such a wet dough would hold its shape. I'm wrong again!

  It looks like Reinhart has it at 65% for both the pâte fermentée and the bread itself in "Bread Baker's Apprentice" and the simple recipe in "Every Day" is about 67%. I consider him an expert, but some of his stuff is fussier than I want to deal with at the moment.
