Dough Temperature Calculator
Calculate the ideal water temperature for achieving your desired dough temperature
Enter all values to calculate the ideal water temperature
How to Use This Calculator
1. Set your desired dough temperature - Most breads: 75-78°F, Enriched doughs: 75-80°F
2. Measure room and flour temperature - Use a thermometer for accuracy
3. Select your mixing method - Or enter a custom friction factor if you know it
4. Use the calculated water temperature - Adjust your water with ice or warm water to hit the target
Understanding Friction Factor: Mixing generates heat through friction. Stand mixers generate more heat than hand mixing. The friction factor accounts for this temperature rise during mixing.
