Pizza Dough Calculator Pro
Dough Calculator
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Tell the app when you want to eat – or how much time you have. New: videos in guided baking, a baking journal with tips and your own flour blends.
Calculate, plan and bake pizza dough – for Napoletana, Romana, New York, Pinsa, Focaccia, sourdough and gluten-free. Tell the app when
you want to eat, or how much time you have – it plans backwards to your start time, or tells you when everything will be ready.
ALL THE MAJOR PIZZA STYLES
Napoletana · Romana · New York · Chicago Deep Dish · Pan Pizza · Detroit · Pinsa · Focaccia · Sourdough · Gluten-free
Every style is calculated and guided individually.
PERFECT TIMING
Tell the app when you want to eat – or how much time you have. It builds the full schedule: start time, fermentation phases, baking time and when your first pizza is ready.
SMART DOUGH CALCULATION
Exact amounts for flour, water, salt and yeast. Dynamically adjusted to time and temperature. Direct dough, poolish, biga and sourdough. Long fermentation automatically moves to the fridge.
YOUR OWN FLOUR BLENDS
Working with several flours? Create your own blends with percentages – the app splits the flour amount automatically.
GUIDED BAKING
Step by step from kneading to the oven – with timers, photos and videos as references. You see exactly how the dough should look.
BAKING JOURNAL
Every finished dough is saved – with a rating and a concrete tip for next time. Keep your best bakes as favorites and reload them anytime.
YOUR KITCHEN
Set your room and fridge temperature once – every recipe uses them automatically.
BUILT FOR REAL PIZZA OVENS
Ooni, Gozney, Effeuno, pizza steel and home ovens – with matching baking times and temperatures for every style.
THE PIZZA BIBLE
Pro knowledge from practice: flour, hydration, fermentation, oven. Troubleshooting and error analysis. Not just recipes – real understanding.

zucchini blossoms are in season.

recipe, shopping list, PDF and guided baking.

Big sourdough update!
New starter check: Tell the app how active your sourdough is — just fed, active, or been in the fridge a while. The plan adjusts automatically.
Peak starter? Now factored in directly — that ripeness shifts into a long, cold fermentation (up to 48h) for maximum flavor.
Sourdough quantity is now calculated dynamically: short warm fermentation = more starter, long cold fermentation = less. Comes with a recommendation plus a manual slider (3–30%).
Revised 6-day starter-building guide — clearer, more technically precise, with maintenance tips.
New "Shape the dough" step in guided baking — with style-specific instructions for all 10 pizza styles.
Full translation: English, Italian, and Spanish now complete across timeline, guided baking, and calculator.
Various smaller improvements to scheduling, copy, and usability.
Buon appetito!
2.1.4 Jul 16

Buon appetito!
2.1.2 Jul 12
SOURDOUGH COMPLETELY REWORKED
Our biggest sourdough update yet:
• Real pre-ferment recipe with your amounts: the app shows exactly how much starter, flour and water you need – Step 1 (build the pre-ferment) and Step 2 (final dough) clearly separated, the way pros do it.
• New "Active starter on hand?" question – the app only plans what's actually possible. No starter? The 8-day guide is one tap away.
• Long lead times now flow into cold bulk fermentation (more flavor!) instead of just telling you to start later.
• Guided baking: gentle kneading, stretch & fold, float test – every step self-explanatory, every amount exact.
ALSO
• Pinsa refined: 30-min autolyse, loose parcels instead of tight balling, correct cold-proof instructions.
• Bake times now adapt to your oven temperature – in the schedule and guided baking.
• Preheat times consistent with your oven preset everywhere.
• Cheese amounts adjusted for the classic duo (fior di latte + parmigiano).
• Many detail fixes to amounts, rounding and copy.
Buon appetito!
2.1.0 Jul 11
What's new in this version
• Bigger batches: You can now plan up to 80 pizzas at once – perfect
for parties, family gatherings or pizza night with friends.
• Smarter baking schedule: Your chosen serving time is now the moment
the FIRST pizza is ready. The rest follow one after another – the
timeline clearly shows when the first is done and roughly when all
of them will be. So you can start eating right away while the rest
keep baking.
• Focaccia fully reworked: The pan proof is now freely adjustable
(0.5–6 h), so your dough rises exactly as long as you like. The
guided baking flow now matches the set time precisely.
• More reliable proofing advice: For long rise times the app now
automatically suggests a cold (fridge) proof so your dough won't
over-proof. An over-proofing warning only appears if you
deliberately set a warmer temperature.
• Tidier expert settings: Values no longer jump around while you
adjust them, and a few unnecessary hints are gone – everything feels
calmer and clearer.
• More languages in the store: The app is now correctly listed in
German, English, Italian and Spanish.
• Many small improvements to wording, scheduling and usability.

What's New
• Flour blends: Create, name and save your own flour mixes – e.g. 70% Tipo 00, 20% Tipo 1, 10% wholemeal. Tap the flour amount under "Your dough" to open your library. The app splits the amount automatically. Ready-made templates for Neapolitan, Romana, Focaccia, Pinsa and more are included – fully editable or removable.

1.9.11 Jun 28
Flour blends (user feedback)
Work with more than one flour? You can now create, name and save
your own blends – e.g. 60% Pizzeria, 35% Nuvola, 5% Semola. Just tap
the flour amount under "Your dough" to open your blend library. The
app splits the flour amount automatically and adds it to your
shopping list. If you use a single flour, you won't notice a thing –
everything stays as simple as before.
Clearer guided baking
The steps around cold proofing, warming up and baking are now
consistent and logical throughout – whatever the style or settings.
Focaccia gets its own dedicated flow (proofing in the pan instead
of round pizzas).
Better yeast display & reference photos
Yeast amounts are shown more clearly, with a handy tip for weighing
small quantities. Guided baking now shows reference photos – and you
can share your own.
Expert settings (user feedback)
Expanded fine-tuning of bulk fermentation and final proofing.
Plus many small improvements to wording, scheduling and usability.

Bug Fix - guided baking
1.8.8 Jun 16
Bug Fix – Preferments
1.8.5 Jun 15
This update turns Pizzaiolo into a true baking companion:
• Your plan keeps running: The app now reliably knows where your
dough stands – even if you closed it for hours. Missed steps are
shown for catching up instead of being discarded.
• Learn from every bake: After your plan, give quick feedback
(crust too pale? dough too sticky?) – next time, the app reminds
you and gives a concrete tip.
• Got everything? Before you start, a checklist shows all
ingredients with amounts to tick off – and you can now share the
ingredient list, e.g. with whoever does the shopping.
• Browning tip: Baking below 300 °C in a home oven? The app
automatically suggests adding a little honey to the dough – one
tap is all it takes.
• Yeast made easy: Yeast types written out instead of abbreviations,
clear conversions, and for tiny amounts under 1 g the app explains
how to measure precisely. Kneading instructions adapt
automatically to your yeast type.
• Comfort everywhere: oven selection without jumping around, type
values directly instead of tapping 30 times, countdown to your
next step, clearer warnings with one-tap solutions.
Happy baking! Feedback welcome via the app settings.
