Home › Calculators › Keep, Then Divide
Enter the baked weight you want and your losses, then press Calculate.
From the book — Chapter 8. Dough to mix = baked weight ÷ (1 − bake loss) ÷ (1 − bowl loss). A loss of 15% is a keep of 0.85: never add the loss back on.
Typical bake losses: 12% tin loaf, 15% round, 16% ciabatta, 22% baguette. Measure your own — weigh before and after. Everything stays in your browser — no sign-up, nothing stored.
