Pizza Note: Dough Calculator

Not sure how much yeast to use? A dough baked in two hours needs a very different amount of yeast from one fermented overnight or kept in the fridge for several days. Pizza Note calculates your pizza dough recipe and builds a fermentation schedule around the time you want to bake. Choose your bake time, number of dough balls, and preferred texture. The app calculates your ingredients and shows when to mix, divide, refrigerate, proof, preheat, and bake. PLAN BACKWARD FROM YOUR BAKE TIME Want to bake at 6:00 PM on Saturday? Pizza Note works backward from your chosen bake time and creates a step-by-step schedule for mixing, bulk fermentation, dividing, cold fermentation, final proofing, and preheating. If a step would fall in the middle of the night, the app can suggest a more practical starting time. CALCULATE YEAST FOR YOUR SCHEDULE The right amount of yeast depends on fermentation time, room temperature, refrigerator temperature, and yeast type. Pizza Note estimates the yeast amount for your actual schedule instead of relying on a single fixed recipe. Supported yeast types: • Instant dry yeast • Active dry yeast • Fresh yeast • Semi-dry yeast START WITH ONLY THREE CHOICES Simple Mode lets you create a complete dough plan by choosing: • When you want to bake • How many pizzas you want to make • What kind of texture you prefer The app then calculates the flour, water, salt, yeast, oil, and sugar, along with a complete fermentation timeline. FINE-TUNE EVERY PART OF THE DOUGH Advanced Mode gives you control over: • Dough weight • Hydration • Salt • Oil • Sugar • Room temperature • Refrigerator temperature • Fermentation time Change one value and the rest of the recipe updates automatically. Pizza Note supports direct dough, biga, and poolish methods. You can also choose between standard, bulk cold fermentation, and balled cold fermentation schedules.
