Prerequisits

You will need the following HACS addons in order to setup the calculator.

https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card
https://github.com/custom-cards/stack-in-card
https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod

This calculator aims to

1. Simplify scaling of a dough recipe by automaticly calculate dough weight and required ingredients based on:
a) number of pizzas
b) weight of each pizza
c) bakers percent of water
d) bakers percent of salt

2. Calculate required amount of fresh yeast* based on:
a) surrounding temperature of the dough throughout the fermentation i.e room temperature or fridge temperature
b) time until baking out the pizzas.

3. Calculate required amount of active sourdough based on:
a) surrounding temperature of the dough throughout the fermentation i.e room temperature or fridge temperature
b) time until baking out the pizzas.

4. Make it easy for the user to change water and salt levels to encourage experimentation.

Installation

This repository consists of an English and a Swedish version each containing 3 files

Choose either the EN or SE version. Don't mix them!

Swedish version

1. SE Input Helpers
A list of the input helpers (type, names and settings) that needs to be created in your installation in order for you to be able to input data to the calculator.

2. SE Yaml code
The code needs to go in your configuration.yaml file. This sets up the calculation parameters and creates the necessary sensors.

3. SE Lovelace UI card yaml code
This is the code for the user interface and goes in your lovelace view.

English version

Some quick notes on how I make a pizza dough


Basic settings to get started that works well with Caputo Pizzeria flour

Proof temp: 21 °C
Proof time: 24 h
Water: 66%
Salt: 3%

1. Start by disolving the yeast in lukewarm water, add salt and flour and mix the ingredients until they form a rough dough. No need for stretcing or kneeding. This is a "no knead dough"
2. Cover dough and let rest for 30 minutes.
3. Fold the dough over itself five times. There is great videos on YouTube on how to fold a "no knead pizza dough".
4. Cover dough and wait for 15 minutes.
5. Fold the dough over itself five times.
6. Cover dough and wait for 15 minutes.
7. Fold the dough over itself five times.
8. Now it's time for bulk fermentation. Cover dough and let it ferment.
9. Form into dough balls, cover and proof for remaining time.

I usually let the dough bulk ferment for the first half of the time, and then proof for the rest of the time as individual dough balls. Please feel free to try out what you prefer.

Additional notes:
*note 1: The yeast is calculated based on fresh yeast. I'm from Sweden and use Kronjäst blå. Other brands or yeast types may give varying results.
