How to Use This Calculator
This tool is designed for accuracy and ease of use in the kitchen.
- Ingredient Converter: Select an amount, a "from" unit (like 'US cup'), and an ingredient. The calculator will instantly show you the equivalent weight (grams, ounces) or volume (ml), based on standard food densities. Use the 'Style' dropdown for ingredients like flour or brown sugar for even more accuracy.
- Temperature Converter: Enter a value in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Gas Mark, and the other fields will update automatically.
- Baker's Percentage: Enter your total flour weight in grams. Then, input your desired percentages for water (hydration), salt, and yeast. The calculator will output the exact weight needed for each ingredient, making it easy to scale any bread recipe.
Glossary
- Density
- The relationship between an ingredient's weight and its volume. This is why 1 cup of flour weighs less than 1 cup of sugar.
- Baker's Percentage
- A notation method where all ingredients are expressed as a percentage of the total flour weight, which is always 100%.
- Hydration
- In baking, this refers to the amount of water relative to the amount of flour, expressed as a percentage. It heavily influences dough consistency.
- Sifted vs. Unsifted
- Sifting aerates flour, making it lighter and less dense. A cup of sifted flour weighs less than a cup of unsifted flour.
- Packed
- Refers to firmly pressing an ingredient, like brown sugar, into a measuring cup to eliminate air pockets. This is the standard way to measure it.
