Dough calculator

What you enter

Select a recipe preset, hydration, number of dough balls, and dough ball weight. Select a fermentation schedule and yeast type.

What it returns

The tool returns flour, water, salt, oil, sugar, and yeast or levain weights in grams.

The formula uses the preset percentages in the site calculator. It divides total dough weight by the sum of the ingredient percentages. For levain, it subtracts the flour and water already in the levain.

Recipe presets and yeast amounts are starting points. Results vary with flour, temperature, and time.

Preset examples

These examples use four dough balls, the preset ball weight and hydration, the 48-hour cold schedule, and instant dry yeast.
