Pizza Dough Calculator

Scale any dough formula to exactly the number of balls you need, in baker’s percentages — with poolish and biga handled properly, and the real cost per dough ball pulled from what you actually pay for flour.

How much dough do you need?

A little dough always stays in the mixer and on the bench. 1–3% is typical — this makes a bit extra so you don’t come up a ball short.

Your formula

Everything is a percentage of the total flour, which is always 100%. That’s what baker’s percentages mean, and it’s why the column adds up to more than 100.
IngredientBaker’s %TypePrice from
“Price from” lets you pick exactly which of Your Ingredients each line is costed against — so the right flour is used even if it’s saved under a distributor’s wording.

Preferment

A poolish or biga made the day before. Its flour and water come out of the totals above rather than being added on top — so your hydration and percentages stay exactly as you set them.
