Pizza Alchemy Dough Calculator

Transform your kitchen into a real artisan pizzeria with Pizza Alchemy, the dough calculator built for pizza lovers, from complete beginners to experienced pizzaiolos.

Whether you want a classic Neapolitan pizza, a crispy Roman pan pizza or a New York slice, precision is everything. Pizza Alchemy takes the guesswork out of it and gives you exact quantities, honest timings and a guided bake, every single time.

►WHAT THE APP DOES

• PRECISION DOUGH CALCULATOR Enter how many dough balls you want, how much each one should weigh and the hydration you are after. The app works out flour, water, salt and yeast, with the yeast down to a hundredth of a gram.

• YEAST THAT FITS YOUR SCHEDULE Tell it how many hours you have and at what temperature, all at room temperature or with a cold maturation in the fridge, and Pizza Alchemy works out the right dose so you never end up with a heavy, under-proofed dough. Fresh yeast, active dry, instant dry, or a liquid or stiff sourdough starter.

• FOUR PIZZA STYLES, READY TO USE Napoletana STG, Teglia alla Romana, Romana Tonda and New York. Each one carries its own hydration, flour, timings and oven. Tap one and it lands straight in the calculator.

• A STEP-BY-STEP PLAN, WITH NOTIFICATIONS Start from when you will knead, or from when you want the dough balls ready and let the app work backwards. You get the whole schedule: kneading, bulk fermentation, when to ball the dough, the final proof and the moment to light the oven. Switch on a reminder for any step and your phone will tell you.

• BAKE GUIDE AND TIMER FOR FIVE OVENS From an Ooni Koda and a kamado to a high-temperature electric oven and the one already in your kitchen. Preheating, bake time and what to watch while the pizza is in there, with a notification at every phase.

• BAKING DIARY WITH PHOTOS, FREE FOR EVERYONE Rate every bake, write down what you would change next time and add a photo of the result. The next pizza starts where the last one left off.

• SEASONAL INSPIRATION Fruit and vegetables in season in your area, each with a pizza pairing built around it.

• A FROM-SCRATCH TUTORIAL AND A LEARN SECTION A complete no-knead walkthrough for your very first pizza, plus short, readable pieces on what is actually happening inside your dough.
