Pizza Dough Calculator
Calculate the exact amounts of flour, water, yeast, and salt needed for homemade pizza dough based on number of pizzas and size.
Pizza Dough Recipe
Pizza dough is calculated using baker’s percentages, where all ingredients are expressed as a percentage of the flour weight.
Standard pizza dough ratios:
- Flour: 100% (base)
- Water: 60–65% (hydration)
- Salt: 2–3%
- Yeast (instant): 0.5–1%
- Olive Oil: 3% (optional)
Dough ball weight by pizza size:
- Small (8–10"): 180–220g dough ball
- Medium (12"): 250–280g dough ball
- Large (14–16"): 300–350g dough ball
Thin crust uses less dough (about 80% of standard), while thick crust uses more (about 130% of standard).
Total dough weight = Number of pizzas × dough ball weight
Then the individual ingredient weights are calculated from baker’s percentages:
Flour = Total Dough Weight / (1 + hydration% + salt% + yeast% + oil%)
