DoughCalculator Sourdough
Sourdough math and baking
Free · In‑App Purchases
Scale a recipe, set water temperature, build a levain, plan ripening, proofing and baking – plus the book "Sourdough Made Easy". No sign-up, no ads.
DoughCalculator räknar ut ditt surdegsbröd: från receptet via vattentemperatur, levain och jäsning till baktiden. I appen finns också boken ”Surdeg på ett enkelt sätt”, som går att DoughCalculator works out your sourdough: from the recipe through water temperature, levain and proofing to the bake. The book "Sourdough Made Easy" is built in and can be read offline.
RECIPE
Enter your ingredients and see the key figures of your dough at once, such as hydration and baker's percentages. Scale the recipe to any amount, one loaf or ten. The recipe stays saved on your device.
TEMPERATURE
How warm must the water be for the dough to reach its target temperature? Set temperatures conveniently on a dial.
BUILD A LEVAIN
Work out how much starter, flour and water you need for your levain – also with a freely chosen share of flour and water.
RIPENING
Plan when your levain will be ripe: choose the feed ratio and the temperature, set the time on the time dial and see what to expect. The times for other feeds and other temperatures are shown alongside as an overview that can be shared or printed as a PDF.
PROOFING
Estimate how long your dough's fermentation takes: by temperature and levain share, including a custom share, as a rule of thumb from baking practice.
BAKING
How long does my loaf need to bake? The baking calculator takes weight and shape (free-standing, loaf tin or pot) into account and explains what happens in the oven.
THE BOOK (DOUGHBUCH)
The book is included as a Hobby edition and a Pro edition, with graphics and photos, in English, German and Swedish, and can be read offline. Its chapters are linked with the calculators; the app remembers where you stopped and offers "Continue reading". The book is also available as a print PDF to view, print and save. The Hobby edition is free.
OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PURCHASE
You unlock the Pro edition of the book once – no subscription. The purchase can be shared through Family Sharing. The Pro chapters come with a short preview and a free sample before you buy. The app itself is free to download, and all calculators and the Hobby edition stay free.
HOW THE APP IS BUILT
• English, German and Swedish – follows the system language or can be switched in the app, for app and book together

• Light and dark mode
• iPhone and iPad
• Free to download, optional one-time purchase

The times and notes are rules of thumb from baking practice. Your flour, your oven and your starter may differ; in the end, trust the dough rather than the clock.
