DoughForge: Pizza Calculator
Dough, bread, poolish & biga
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Gram-perfect poolish & biga. Photograph your dough — the AI coach tells you if it's ready. Fermentation timeline, recipe journal. No ads, one-time Pro.
DoughForge is the dough calculator for people who care about the crust —
pizza, bread, focaccia and buns.
- **Pizza, bread, focaccia & buns.** Switch the dough type up top: Neapolitan,
NY, Roman, Detroit — sourdough loaf, ciabatta and focaccia — or burger,
brioche, Kaiser, milk and pretzel rolls. One baker's-% engine, the right
defaults for each.
- **AI dough coach.** Describe the bake you want ("four guests tomorrow,
Neapolitan") and it sets the calculator up — or photograph the dough itself
and it tells you whether it's ready, over-proofed, or needs more time. Then
keep asking: follow-up questions about the same dough stay free.
- **Buns done properly.** Milk, egg and butter are weighed as themselves, and
the hydration still means real water. Size the bun to your patty, and get the
technique that actually matters: butter after the gluten, steam for lean
rolls, the lye dip for pretzel ones.
- **Correct pre-ferment math.** Poolish and biga computed the right way —
poolish bounded by water so it never breaks at high shares, biga al 100%
supported. Two-block recipe: Day 1 pre-ferment, Day 2 final dough.
- **Recipe library.** Browse proven doughs, filter by type, favourite the ones
you like and load any of them into the calculator with a tap.
- **Share any recipe.** Every ticket carries a compact code and QR. Paste a
friend's code, message or link and DoughForge previews the exact recipe
before you load it — no account, no camera.
- **Start where you are.** Three experience levels: begin with four controls,
unlock pre-ferments and flour strength when you want them.
- **Bidirectional.** Calculate from dough balls, from a target pizza size, or
from the flour you actually have ("I only have 250 g").
- **Yeast that makes sense.** Instant, active dry, fresh or sourdough — scaled
to your fermentation time, room or cold, and room temperature.
- **Fermentation timeline.** Plan backwards from your bake time and get a
reminder for every step (Pro).
- **Recipe journal.** Save bakes with notes, a star rating and a photo (Pro),
and reload any recipe in one tap.
- **Built to disappear into the kitchen.** Warm, calm design, full dark mode,
large tabular numbers. English, Hungarian, German, Italian, Spanish, French.
No ads. No account. No subscription. Every calculation works offline, even in
airplane mode on first launch — the shared recipe library ships with the app
and simply refreshes when you are online. Pro is a one-time purchase: step
reminders, sourdough starter tracking, the proof timer, journal photos, custom
presets, PDF export, the two-flour blend — and extra AI coach analyses.
**No account. No tracking. Your recipes stay on your device — the AI coach is the only thing that sends anything, and only when you ask it to.**

New: the dough coach
• Ask it anything about your dough in your own words. "Why is my dough sticky?" gets a real answer — or describe the bake you want and it sets the calculator up, previewed before anything changes
• Or photograph the dough itself and it tells you whether it is ready, over-proofed, or needs more time
• Then keep asking. “And if I shorten the bulk by two hours?” — four more questions about the same dough, at no extra cost
• Free to try: two questions and one photo reading. More come with Pro or in a one-time pack — never a subscription
