The numbers, worked

  1. Total dough: 12 × 260 g = 3,120 g (no waste allowance on this page).
  2. Add the percentages: 100 + 65 + 2.8 + 0.3 = 168.1%.
  3. Flour: 3,120 g × 100 ÷ 168.1 = 1,856 g.
  4. Water 65% = 1,206 g, salt 2.8% = 52 g, yeast 0.3% = 6 g.
  5. Bake: 12 pizzas × 8 minutes = 96 minutes, after a 60-minute preheat from 4:24 pm.

The plan uses only the numbers you give it. It does no fermentation timing and gives no food-safety advice.

Questions

How big should a dough ball be?

Around 250 to 270 g is common for a 12-inch pizza. Change "Dough per piece" to your size.

Can I make sourdough pizza?

Yes. Add a line marked "Levain" to the formula, and the planner adds the levain to build the night before.

How much yeast for a long cold ferment?

Less yeast for a longer ferment is the usual rule, but the right amount depends on your time and temperature. Change the yeast percentage; the planner only does the weights.

Can I bake two at once?

Set "Pieces per oven load" to 2 and the bake time halves.

Formulas are in baker's percentages: the flours add to 100% and every other line is a share of the flour. Changes on this page are kept in this browser, apart from your plan on the full planner.
