Poolish Calculator

Poolish Calculator makes it easy to convert an existing bread recipe into a poolish-based recipe. Enter your recipe using grams or familiar cups and spoons, then choose how much of the flour you want to preferment. Poolish Calculator calculates what to prepare on Day 1 and what ingredients remain for your final dough on Day 2. Choose from several poolish percentages, fermentation times, room temperatures, and yeast types. The calculator preserves the totals of your original recipe while helping you understand how the poolish fits into it. Features include: • Metric measurements using grams • Cups and spoons for recipes written in volume measurements • Adjustable poolish percentages • 8, 12, and 16-hour fermentation options • Cool, normal, and warm room-temperature settings • Instant yeast and active dry yeast options • Original recipe hydration calculation • Day 1 poolish and Day 2 final dough instructions • Helpful warnings when a recipe is not suitable for the selected poolish percentage • Built-in beginner-friendly Help guide explaining poolish, recipe entry, fermentation settings, dough hydration, and conversion troubleshooting. Poolish Calculator is designed for home bakers who want an easy way to experiment with preferments without having to calculate everything by hand. For the most accurate results, weighing ingredients in grams is recommended. Volume conversions are provided as convenient estimates because flour measurements can vary depending on how flour is scooped.
