PizzaMath

Pizza dough calculator

Dough by the gram. Timed to the oven.

Choose a pizza style, how many pizzas you are making and the hydration (the water percentage). PizzaMath works out every ingredient in grams. Then tell it when you want to eat, and it plans the bake backward: when to mix, divide and shape the dough, refrigerate it, take it out and preheat the oven.

A worked example

Six Neapolitan pizzas, Saturday at 7 pm.

The dough

6 balls of 250 g at 65% hydration, 2.8% salt, 0.15% instant dry yeast.

Flour 893 g
Water 581 g
Salt 25 g
Yeast 1.3 g

The plan

24 hours in a 4 °C fridge, a 21 °C kitchen, 4 hours out of the fridge before baking.

  1. Bake Saturday 7:00 pm
  2. Preheat oven Saturday 6:00 pm
  3. Out of the fridge Saturday 3:00 pm
  4. Ball and into the fridge Friday 3:00 pm
  5. Bulk rise Friday 10:55 am
  6. Mix Friday 10:35 am

If a step lands at an awkward hour, move it. The earlier steps move with it while your bake time stays fixed, and the plan gives an estimate of whether the dough should still be about right. Check the dough as you go.

What it does

Seven styles.

Neapolitan, New York, Detroit, Sicilian, pan, thin and crispy, and sourdough, each with a starting formula you can change. Pan styles count pans instead of balls.

Adjust the recipe percentages.

Hydration, salt, yeast, oil and sugar as baker’s percentages. Start from the ball weight, or from the flour you have. Instant, active dry or fresh yeast, converted for you.

Poolish, biga and sourdough.

For poolish and biga, see what goes into the preferment the day before and what to add to the final dough. Sourdough mode counts the flour and water in your starter.

The timeline.

Pick the day and time, or start now. Set your kitchen and fridge temperatures and how long the dough rests cold. Every step is laid out backward from the oven, with a countdown to the next one. Times are planning estimates from yeast, temperature and time.

Saved doughs.

Keep a dough with a photo of the result, a 1 to 5 rating and notes. Bake again loads it straight back into the calculator.

Your units, your language.

Grams or ounces, Celsius or Fahrenheit, in 10 languages.

Why it works this way

Planning estimates, not promises.

Yeast, flour and kitchens vary. The timeline uses a planning table of yeast amount, temperature and time, you can move any step, and every number is a starting point.

No ads, no account.

Your doughs and photos are stored on your phone. Crash reports and app usage statistics go through Google services; your dough recipes and photos are not included in them.

Saved doughs stay yours.

The standard version keeps three doughs and one plan at a time. Anything you have saved stays open whichever version you use, and restoring a backup works on every version.

Questions

Which pizza styles does it cover?

Neapolitan, New York, Detroit, Sicilian, pan, thin and crispy, and sourdough. Each starts from a common home formula, and you can change every percentage.

How does it work out the timeline?

It starts from your bake time and counts back through warm-up, the fridge and the first rise. The hours come from a planning table of yeast amount, kitchen and fridge temperature. Watch the dough as well as the clock.

Can I use sourdough starter instead of yeast?

Yes. Set the starter as a percent of the flour and its hydration. The starter’s flour and water are counted in the totals, and the plan adds a step to feed it.

Does it work for a home oven?

Yes. The calculator does not depend on the oven. The Pro recipes have notes for a home oven with a steel or stone and for pizza ovens.

Do the reminders need Pro?

Yes. The timeline, its countdown and moving steps are in the standard version; a notification at each step comes with Pro.

Does it need an account or show ads?

No account and no ads. Your doughs and photos are stored on your phone.
