Mamma mia, let’s make dough

New York pizza dough calculator

Big, foldable, slightly chewy slices. The New York preset adds a little oil and sugar to the dough for tenderness and that deep golden color, with 63% hydration and generous 250–450 g balls.

Set your fermentation time — a slow cold ferment in the fridge does wonders here — and the calculator weighs everything and plans the timeline to the minute.

The game plan

How it’s done

  1. Dissolve the yeast in the water.
  2. Add the flour and sugar, mix until no dry spots remain. Rest 20 minutes (autolyse).
  3. Add the salt, then the oil in two additions, and knead until smooth and elastic, 8–10 minutes.
  4. Bulk ferment, then divide into 4 × 320 g balls. Cover in a lightly oiled box.
  5. When the balls have relaxed and roughly doubled, stretch by hand, keeping air in the rim, top and bake.
