Read full descriptionHide full description
A Pizza Dough Calculator. Calculate exact ingredient amounts for perfect pizza dough every time. Whether you're a beginner home baker experimenting with new recipes or an experienced enthusiast pizza maker, Pizza Calc helps you create consistent, delicious dough with support for popular pre-fermentation techniques. Precise Calculations Pizza Calc calculates exact ingredient amounts based on your specifications. Simply set the number of pizzas you want to make, the desired ball weight, and your preferred water percentage. The app handles all the complex math, ensuring your dough turns out perfectly every time. Pre-fermentation Support Take your pizza dough to the next level with support for professional pre-fermentation methods. Choose from Poolish (100% hydration), Biga (50% hydration), or a combined approach that uses both techniques. These methods develop deeper flavors and improve texture through extended fermentation. Flexible Recipe Creation Create recipes using either percentage-based or weight-based input. If you have a recipe with percentages, enter them directly. If you have specific weights from a recipe, the app will calculate the percentages for you. Both methods give you full control over your dough formulas. Recipe Management Save and organize multiple recipes with notes and links. Add instructions, fermentation times, and links to videos or websites that inspired your recipe. Reorder recipes by dragging and dropping, and easily edit or delete recipes as your techniques evolve. Adjustable Settings Fine-tune your calculations with adjustable settings for number of pizzas (1-20), ball weight (200-300g), water percentage (50-80%), and pre-ferment percentage (0-100%). The app shows recommended values from your recipe while allowing you to experiment with different parameters.
