PizzaChef
Pizza dough calculator that thinks like a Pizzaiolo
Most dough calculators just give you grams. PizzaChef works backward from when you actually want to eat - preferments, cold retard, room-temp proof - and tells you exactly when to start. It adjusts for the oven you're really using too: a 500°C outdoor oven and a 250°C home oven need different advice, and most tools pretend they don't. Covers Neapolitan, New York, Detroit, and Roman/teglia, plus an AI coach and bake-log photo analysis for dialing in over time.

Hey, I built PizzaChef because every dough calculator I tried did the same thing: give you grams for a percentage, then stop. None of them addressed the part that actually decides whether a bake works: timing. When do you actually start the poolish if you want to eat at 7 pm tomorrow? How long does a cold retard really need? Most tools just leave you doing that math by hand, or guessing and hoping. So PizzaChef works backward instead. You tell it when you want to bake, and it plans the whole fermentation schedule from there: preferment, cold retard, room-temp proof, all of it. The other thing that bugged me: almost every calculator out there assumes you've got a screaming-hot outdoor oven. Most home bakers don't. A 500°C oven and a 250°C home oven aren't a small difference. Bake time, topping choices, even which cheese actually holds up all change. So PizzaChef adjusts for the oven you're really using, home oven included, instead of assuming everyone owns an Ooni. It covers Neapolitan, New York, Detroit, and Roman/teglia, has an AI coach that looks at your actual bakes over time, and the core calculator and timeline are free. No account needed for the basic tools. I built and run this solo, so I'm genuinely around to answer anything. What you're baking, what's missing, what's confusing- all of it. Let me know what you think!
