Result

A table of ingredients with percent and grams, total dough, flour, liquid, hydration and dough yield, also as text and Word.

In a bakery, every recipe gets scaled sooner or later. This tool starts from baker's percentages, with flour as 100 percent, or from a recipe in grams. It then calculates the amount of each ingredient for a number of pieces or a flour weight, and shows total dough, hydration and dough yield. The AI words only a short overview and adds no baking times or temperatures.

Questions and answers

Who does the calculation?

The server calculates all sums from the table. The AI only writes the text and cannot change the figures.

What if the flour rows do not make 100 percent?

The tool stops and asks for a correction, because every other amount depends on the flour. Nothing is guessed.

How are hydration and dough yield calculated?

Hydration is liquid divided by flour, in percent. Dough yield is 100 plus hydration. Only rows with the role liquid count as liquid.

Is my text stored?

Only as long as needed: 7 days on Free, 30 days with a package – or not at all if you choose not to store it. Processing happens on our own servers in the EU (Poland).
