DoughKinetics: a dough-fermentation simulator
A free interactive simulator estimates dough temperature, fermentation, and gluten strength across a baking schedule, then recommends a yeast amount.
- For
- Home bakers planning long or cold ferments
- Worth noticing
- The simulator estimates that a 3 kg batch’s core stays above 8°C in the fridge for 8.4 hours.
Field notes
Users can choose from presets including a 3 kg insulated-tub batch, a 24-hour pizza ferment, a 48-hour high-hydration dough, and a biga, or enter their own quantities, temperatures, and timing. The eight-step workflow covers flour, preferment, hydration, bulk rise, refrigeration, shaping, and final proof. Results compare a temperature-lag calculation with an instant-fridge assumption and track dough-core temperature, rise, and gluten strength; these are the simulator’s modeled estimates, not independently verified baking outcomes.
