    OK, I watched the start THREE times. That baker said his bread is 110% hydration dough.
    I not ONLY bake bread, I can also use my grade school math skills here.
    High hydration dough is anything over 70% as memory recalls, and IS possible. But there is NO recipe, or formula or combination of elements that can EVER have more than 100% ingredients!
    100% is ALL there is, regardless, ever, no other way. Unless you're Brendan Fraser, playing basketball in "Bedazzled".
    "Ah... well, you go out there and you give a 110%, and you wanna play good, and... you know... you hope you play good... I think we played pretty good tonight!"
