How to Use This Poolish Calculator
Start by entering how many pizzas you want to make and your desired dough ball weight. The calculator will do the rest—splitting your flour, water, and yeast between the poolish and final mix.
💡 Tip: Poolish works best with longer fermentation times. For maximum flavor and texture, let the poolish rest 12–16 hours at room temperature before mixing your final dough.
