PizzaPlan - Dough Calculator

Ad-free, no subscription, no account: PizzaPlan calculates offline on your device. GDPR compliant, made in Germany, in six hand-maintained languages.

No ads. No subscription. No tracking. No account. PizzaPlan calculates your pizza dough to the gram, fully offline on your device, GDPR compliant and in six hand-maintained languages.

You enter the number of pizzas, hydration and fermentation time. The app works out flour, water, salt, oil and yeast (fresh or dry) exactly: based on baker's percentages, with a yeast curve by fermentation time and temperature, and profiles for over 100 flour brands.

AD-FREE, NO SUBSCRIPTION, NO ACCOUNT PizzaPlan has never had ads or a subscription. The full version is a one-off purchase for €2.99, permanent, all future Pro features included. No tracking, no analytics services, no sign-up: all data stays local, the app runs entirely offline. GDPR compliant, developed and maintained in Germany. Six languages, each translated by hand, not by machine: German, English, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, French.

REVERSE SCHEDULER You say when the pizza should be on the table. PizzaPlan works backwards: when to mix the dough, knead, bulk proof, ball up, ball proof, bake. With calendar export, reminders and PDF export.

PIZZA STYLES 10 styles: Neapolitan, New York style, Romana, sheet-pan pizza, pan pizza, Detroit style, Sicilian al taglio, Chicago deep dish, Pinsa Romana and focaccia. Every style brings its own hydration range, flour profile and schedule. Oil in the dough freely adjustable.

GLUTEN-FREE BAKING Four gluten-free flours with their own calculation, not a converted wheat recipe: rice, corn, cassava and chickpea flour, each with its own hydration, workflow and matching binder (xanthan, psyllium husk, chia, linseed or egg).

PRE-FERMENTS & SOURDOUGH

• Sourdough (free): with or without yeast support, starter and levain calculation incl. refresh reminder.
• Biga (Pro): firm pre-ferment, 30-100 % share freely selectable, ripening styles corta and lunga.
• Poolish (Pro): liquid pre-ferment with precise yeast dosing, from 26 °C automatically in the fridge.
• Li.Co.Li. (Pro): liquid Lievito Madre, wild culture without commercial yeast.

YEAST, FERMENTATION TIME & SUMMER MODE Set room and fridge temperature independently, plan bulk proof and ball proof separately, and watch the yeast amount shift with every hour of fermentation. Optionally a pure room-temperature schedule, no fridge. SUMMER MODE: from 26 °C the app shortens the bulk proof, moves the dough to the fridge and suggests cold kneading water. The ice water calculator says how much ice you need.

FLOUR 8 types for free (Tipo 00, Tipo 0, Tipo 1, Type 550, Manitoba, Spelt 630, Whole Spelt, Whole Wheat).

Flour blend calculator (Pro): two types into your own blend, with total protein content and W value.

SWEET YEAST DOUGHS 10 types beyond pizza: Germknödel, Dampfnudeln, Buchteln, sweet braid (free), plus Krapfen, cinnamon rolls, brioche, focaccia dolce, maritozzi and Butterzopf (Pro). Sugar, butter and eggs are automatically rolled into baker's percentages.

PizzaPlan comes from Forstinning near Munich, built by Christoph, home pizza baker with a wood-fired oven and an Effeuno P134H. The values in the app are the ones he uses himself.
