Калькулятор даёт точный рецепт за минуту. Введите целевой вес, выберите влажность и левен — получите веса ингредиентов.

Getting Started: The Basics

Open the calculator. You'll see: Total Dough Weight (e.g., 800g), Hydration (70-75% for beginners), Levain % (typically 20%), Salt % (usually 2.1%). Adjust sliders—the Dough Recipe card updates instantly.

Understanding the Results

The calculator shows exact weights. It includes flour and water in your starter. Learn the theory in our baker's percentage guide.

Flour Mix and Hydration Adjustment

Whole wheat and rye absorb more water. Select a flour mix—the calculator automatically adds hydration. See our hydration guide.

Multi-Loaf Scaling

Baking 2 or 3 loaves? Change "Number of Loaves." All ingredients scale. Percentages stay the same.

Starter Maintenance Tab

Enter current starter amount, desired amount, and feeding ratio (1:1:1, 1:2:2). See our feeding schedule guide.

Temperature and Fermentation Time

Set dough temperature. The calculator estimates bulk fermentation. Watch for ~50% volume increase. Use the built-in timer. Don't rely on time alone.

Save, Export, and Make Bread

Save recipes. Export to PDF. Tap "Make bread" for step-by-step instructions. Use with our hydration and starter ratio guides.
