PizzaFriday Dough Calc

PizzaFriday is a pizza dough calculator with a temperature-compensated yeast model. Set total fermentation time, hydration, and kitchen temperature — the app works out exact ingredient weights scaled to your dough balls, plus a step-by-step method you can run live.

STYLES
Neapolitan and New York presets. Neapolitan: lower hydration, higher salt, no oil — soft base, puffy charred crust. New York: moderate hydration, olive oil, longer bake — foldable slice, crispier base. Change a setting and ingredients and method update in real time.

YEAST MODEL & FERMENTATION
Yeast is calculated from time, kitchen temperature, and salt using a Q10-based biological model — warmer kitchen, less yeast; cooler kitchen, more. Choose room-temp fermentation for a same-day bake, or cold ferment in the fridge for deeper flavour and better browning. The schedule and yeast amount adjust automatically.

DOUGH BALLS & BAKER'S PERCENTAGES
Set ball count and target weight. The calculator works backwards with baker's percentages for flour, water, salt, yeast, and oil. Adjust salt and oil independently; hydration is dialled for pizza (roughly 55–75%), not bread dough.
