DoughForge: Pizza Calculator

DoughForge is a pizza dough calculator that also does bread, focaccia and buns. Baker's percentages to the gram, correct poolish and biga, and a plan that works backwards from the time you want to eat.

FOUR DOUGH FAMILIES, ONE ENGINE
Neapolitan, New York, Roman al taglio, Detroit pan. Sourdough loaf, ciabatta, focaccia, sandwich bread. Burger and brioche buns, Kaiser and pretzel rolls. Pick a style and the calculator sets sensible amounts for everything you cannot see yet.

DOUGH MATH THAT IS ACTUALLY RIGHT
• Baker's percentage for flour, water, salt, yeast, oil and sugar
• Poolish and biga computed properly — and the yeast dose follows the rest you actually plan, because a 12-hour biga and a 24-hour biga are not the same dough
• Enriched dough: milk, egg and butter are weighed as what they are, and hydration still means real water, so the batch adds up on the scale
• Instant, active dry, fresh yeast or a sourdough starter — scaled to your fermentation time and room temperature
• Work in any direction: from dough balls, from a target pizza size, or from the flour you actually have

A TIMELINE THAT SURVIVES REAL LIFE
Set the time you want to bake and the app plans backwards: mix, bulk ferment, ball up, bake — whether it is a same-day pizza dough or a 48-hour cold ferment. Nudge any step by half an hour and it tells you what that does to the dough instead of blocking you. Step reminders are a Pro feature.

RECIPE LIBRARY
Browse proven pizza and bread doughs, filter by dough type, keep favourites, and load any recipe into the calculator with one tap.

SHARE ANY RECIPE
Every recipe ticket carries a short code and a QR image. Paste a code, message or link you were sent and DoughForge previews the exact recipe before loading it. No account, no camera permission.

LEARN WHILE YOU BAKE
Three experience levels: start with four controls and unlock pre-ferments, flour strength and blends when you want them. The dough wiki answers the beginner questions — your first pizza dough, which yeast to buy, kneading, shaping, and the mistakes everyone makes once.

BAKE JOURNAL
Save a bake with notes, a star rating and a photo (Pro), see your streak and the flour you have worked through, and reload any recipe in a tap.

GEAR SHELF
Pizza and bread gear matched to your recipe, your oven and whatever went wrong last time. Optional, clearly labelled, and nothing is sold inside the app.

MADE FOR THE KITCHEN
Warm, calm design, full dark mode, big readable numbers, a hands-free kitchen mode, and a home screen widget with your next step. English, Hungarian, German, Italian, Spanish and French.

Every calculation, timeline and saved recipe works offline; only the shared recipe library refreshes when you are online. Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks step reminders, sourdough starter tracking, the proof timer, journal photos, custom presets, PDF export and the two-flour blend.
