PizzaPlan - Dough Calculator

Everyday polish: type numbers directly, system text up to 150% including input fields, and a clearer start into your favourites.

PizzaPlan is the pizza dough app for people who want their dough planned to the gram - not by guesswork. You enter how many pizzas you want, the hydration you're aiming for and how long the dough should ferment. The app gives you flour, water, salt, oil, yeast (fresh or dry) and every other ingredient down to the gram - based on baker's percentages, an interpolated yeast curve by fermentation time and temperature, and concrete profiles for over 100 flour brands.

Fully offline. No account. No ads. No tracking.

PIZZA STYLES 10 pizza styles, from thin Neapolitan to crispy Pizza Romana and Pizza in Pala, all the way to fluffy pan pizza in New York or Detroit style. For each style, PizzaPlan has a sensible hydration range, a matching flour profile and an editable schedule. Oil in the dough freely adjustable: from style-typical to none.

PRE-FERMENTS & SOURDOUGH

• Sourdough (free): with or without yeast support, with starter and levain calculations plus 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 moved to the fridge.
• Li.Co.Li. (Pro): liquid Lievito Madre, wild culture without commercial yeast.

YEAST, FERMENTATION TIME & SUMMER MODE Yeast calculation follows Jeffrey Hamelman's formula: fermentation speed triples per 9 °C. Set room and fridge temperature independently, plan bulk and ball proof separately, and see how the yeast amount shifts with every hour of fermentation.

SUMMER MODE: from 26-28 °C the app automatically shortens bulk fermentation, moves the dough to the fridge and suggests cold kneading water (with ice cubes from 30 °C). No more over-proofed doughs in summer.

FLOUR 7 types for free (Tipo 00, Tipo 0, Type 550, Manitoba, Spelt 630, Whole Spelt, Whole Wheat). In Pro, over 100 concrete brand profiles (Caputo Pizzeria, Cuoco, Saccorosso, Le 5 Stagioni, Molino Grassi, Dallagiovanna, Petra and more) - with recommended hydration, optimal fermentation window and yeast correction. Plus gluten-free flours (rice, corn, cassava, chickpea) and sweet-dough specialists. Flour blend calculator (Pro): combine two flour types into your own blend - with calculated 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, eggs and fat are automatically rolled into baker's percentages.

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