Neapolitan Pizza Dough Calculator
Whether you’re a sourdough fanatic or prefer instant yeast, this Neapolitan Pizza Dough Calculator helps you quickly and accurately dial in the perfect hydration, dough weight, and more.
Pizza Dough Calculator With a Little More Control
I’ve put together this calculator to make things a bit easier for myself, and to share with others too. I usually jot everything down to keep track of the doughs I make (and I still do), but this tool speeds up the process.
It saves time compared to using a regular calculator and manually going back and forth to get the right dough ball weight, hydration level, and so on.
I’m a big sourdough addict! This started out as a Neapolitan Style sourdough pizza calculator, but I know not everyone bakes with sourdough. A lot of people use IDY or ADY when making pizza, myself included from time to time. So now you’ve got the best of both worlds!
Looking for a great pizza sauce? Check out our simple pizza sauce recipe, I use it on all my pizzas. Looking for a dough recipe? Check out our Neapolitan Pizza Dough or our New York Style Pizza Dough, both of which use this calculator with a starter yeast type.
Update: Fresh yeast option has been added to Yeast Type.
Formula
Fermentation schedule
Dough temperature
Leavening quantity is calculated from your schedule using a temperature-rate model with a cooling-lag correction. Times are estimates. Judge fermentation by how the dough looks and feels, not the clock.
