Dough Calculator
Calculate ingredient quantities for your sourdough bread
This calculator helps you determine exact ingredient weights for sourdough bread. You can calculate in three ways:
- From Total Dough: Know your target loaf size? Enter the total weight you want.
- From Flour Weight: Have a specific amount of flour? Calculate everything else from that.
- From Water Weight: Starting with water? We'll work backwards to get the rest.
