THE DOUGH DESK
Good dough,
weighed out.
Plan everyday loaves, sourdough, focaccia, or pizza. Scale a published recipe by portions or by the flour you have.

Rounded amounts add up to the displayed total.
How the math works
Total flour includes flour in the starter; hydration includes water in it. Starter is split into its flour and water, then the added amounts are calculated. Milk and other additions stay separate and are included in the dough mass.
03 · CHOOSE A RECIPE
Published recipes, scaled to your batch.
Each preset links to the original recipe and identifies its author. King Arthur says its recipes are cross-tested by multiple bakers; MiicroApps has not independently baked these recipes. Converted amounts scale proportionally; any assumptions or optional ingredients are disclosed with the source.
Using the batch calculator
- Choose a dough style and recipe. Published weights are mapped into percentages of total flour. The preset fills the batch size shown in the source.
- Adjust portions or ingredients. Choose the count and weight for pizzas, loaves, or focaccia trays, or switch to total flour on hand. The ingredient weights recalculate.
- Check your starter. Starter presets state the hydration assumption. Enter the hydration of the starter you actually use; flour and water remaining outside the starter must be nonnegative.
- Follow the linked recipe. Fermentation depends on the dough, starter activity, temperature, and handling. This calculator does not predict rise time or readiness.
