DoughForge is the dough calculator for people who care about the crust — pizza, bread, focaccia and buns. Gram-perfect baker's percentages, correct poolish and biga, and recipes you can share as a code.
- **Four dough families.** Neapolitan, NY, Roman, Detroit — sourdough loaf, ciabatta, focaccia, sandwich bread — burger and brioche buns, Kaiser and pretzel rolls. One baker's-% engine, the right defaults for each.
- **Enriched dough done properly.** Milk, egg and butter are weighed as what they are, and hydration still means real water — so the batch adds up on the scale.
- **Correct pre-ferment math.** Poolish and biga computed the right way, and the dose follows the rest you actually plan — a 12-hour biga and a 24-hour biga are not the same. Two-block recipe: Day 1 pre-ferment, Day 2 final dough.
- **Recipe library.** Browse proven doughs, filter by type, favourite the ones you like and load any of them into the calculator with a tap.
- **Share any recipe.** Every ticket carries a compact code and QR. Paste a friend's code, message or link and DoughForge previews the exact recipe before you load it — no account, no camera.
- **Start where you are.** Three experience levels: begin with four controls, unlock pre-ferments and flour strength when you want them. Beginner basics in the dough wiki — your first dough, which yeast, kneading, shaping, common mistakes.
- **Bidirectional.** Calculate from dough balls, from a target pizza size, or from the flour you actually have ("I only have 250 g").
- **Yeast that makes sense.** Instant, active dry, fresh or sourdough — scaled to your fermentation time, room or cold, and room temperature.
- **A timeline that survives real life.** Plan backwards from your bake time, then nudge any step by half an hour: the app tells you what that does to the dough instead of blocking you. Reminders for every step (Pro).
- **Recipe journal.** Save bakes with notes, a star rating and a photo (Pro), and reload any recipe in one tap.
- **Gear shelf.** Hand-picked pizza and bread gear matched to your recipe, oven and troubleshooting. Optional and clearly labelled.
- **Built to disappear into the kitchen.** Warm, calm design, full dark mode, large tabular numbers. English, Hungarian, German, Italian, Spanish, French.
No ads. No account. No subscription. Every calculation, timeline and saved recipe works offline — only the shared recipe library refreshes when you are online. Pro is a one-time purchase: step reminders, sourdough starter tracking, the proof timer, journal photos, custom presets, PDF export and the two-flour blend.
Everything stays on your device. We collect nothing.
