PizzaPlan - Dough Calculator

No ads. No subscription. No tracking. No account. PizzaPlan calculates your pizza dough to the gram, fully offline, GDPR compliant and in six hand-maintained languages.

You enter the number of pizzas, hydration and fermentation time. The app works out flour, water, salt, oil and yeast (fresh or dry) exactly: based on baker's percentages, with a yeast curve by fermentation time and temperature, and profiles for over 200 flours.

AD-FREE, NO SUBSCRIPTION, NO ACCOUNT
PizzaPlan has never had ads or a subscription, the full version is a one-off purchase for €2.99. No analytics, no sign-up: all data stays local. Developed in Germany, translated by hand: DE, EN, ES, IT, NL, FR.

REVERSE SCHEDULER
You say when the pizza should be on the table. PizzaPlan works out every step backwards, from mixing to the oven. If there is time to spare, it suggests a longer fermentation. Shift the start by arrow or to a time you pick (Pro): the baking time stays, fermentation and yeast follow. Plus calendar, reminders and PDF.

BAKE DAYS (PRO)
Several dates and several doughs per bake day, say pizza and focaccia one after another in the wood-fired oven. Each dough has its own ready time, the app warns about oven overlaps and can move the whole bake day. All steps in one list.

PIZZA STYLES
10 styles: Neapolitan, New York style, Romana, sheet-pan pizza, pan pizza, Detroit style, Sicilian al taglio, Chicago deep dish, Pinsa Romana and focaccia. Every style brings its own hydration range, flour profile and schedule.

GLUTEN-FREE BAKING
Five gluten-free flours with their own calculation, not a converted wheat recipe: ready-made blend, rice, corn, cassava and chickpea flour, each with its own hydration, workflow and matching binder (xanthan, psyllium husk, chia, linseed or egg).

PRE-FERMENTS & SOURDOUGH
- Sourdough (free): build a levain or add the madre directly, starter hydration 30-125 %, share adjustable, with or without yeast support.
- Biga (Pro): firm pre-ferment, 30-100 % share, ripening styles corta and lunga.
- Poolish (Pro): liquid pre-ferment with precise yeast dosing, from 26 °C automatically in the fridge.
- Li.Co.Li. (Pro): liquid Lievito Madre without commercial yeast, share set by room temperature.

YEAST, FERMENTATION TIME & HOT-ROOM MODE
Set room and fridge temperature independently, plan bulk proof and ball proof separately, and watch the yeast amount shift with every hour of fermentation. Works without a fridge too.
HOT-ROOM MODE: from 26 °C the app shortens the bulk proof, moves the dough to the fridge and suggests cold kneading water. With ice water calculator.

FLOUR
10 types for free, from Tipo 00 and Manitoba to whole spelt and whole wheat. In Pro, over 200 flour profiles (Caputo, Le 5 Stagioni, Petra and more) with recommended hydration, fermentation window and yeast correction. With catalogue search.
Flour blend calculator (Pro): two types, total protein and W value.
Your own flours (free): with protein, W value and hydration.

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