PizzaCoach is your assistant for precisely planned pizza dough - whether you want to follow classic rules for Neapolitan pizza or develop your own creation with personal adjustments. Terms such as hydration, fermentation time, final proof, bulk fermentation, and baker's percentages are explained step by step directly in the app. PizzaCoach works backwards: starting from the time you want to begin baking pizza. How it works: 1. Set guest time Enter the date and time when your guests arrive. 2. Choose fermentation time The app compares different fermentation times. This lets you see at a glance when each work step would take place. 3. Configure the dough calculator Set the number and size of dough balls, choose the yeast type, and define hydration and salt percentage. You can also add a second flour type, such as spelt or wholegrain flour. Once everything is set, you receive an ingredient list and a complete schedule. 4. Save work steps Save your plan in the app and optionally add reminders. This lets you reopen your work steps later, add comments, and adjust the plan if needed. Features: • Automatic schedule PizzaCoach creates your schedule based on your timing: mix dough - bulk fermentation - adjust temperature - shape dough balls - final proof. • Smart dough calculator Hydration, salt, yeast type, and second flour type are calculated precisely. • Fermentation time optimization Adjust the dough fermentation duration - the app recalculates everything automatically. • Exports & documentation View past plans, add comments, and continue improving your recipes. • PizzaCoach Pro PizzaCoach includes one free export.
