Plan mixing-water temperature for a baker’s target dough temperature, with or without preferment.

Inputs are processed on this page and are never sent to a server.
Enter target, room and flour temperatures plus your measured mixer friction rise. Leave preferment blank for three factors, or enter its temperature for four. This empirical bakery method is not a heat-capacity model; verify the dough after mixing. Friction is a temperature difference, not an absolute temperature.
Tw = kTd − Tr − Tf − ΔTmix − Tp; k = 3 / 4
Mixing-water temperature: 26 °C
Tw = kTd − Tr − Tf − ΔTmix − Tp; k = 3 / 4
Mixing-water temperature: 26 °C
No. It estimates mixing water only. Friction must be calibrated for your mixer, speed, batch and mixing time; it does not plan ice additions.

The initial choice follows your browser region. Your choice is remembered on this device. Gallons are US gallons. Switching units keeps your numbers unchanged and interprets them in the new unit.
Numbers stay unchanged. Check the new unit and enter the intended measurement, or select an example for that system.

Mistake: Changing units and assuming the entered numbers were converted.
Fix: Numbers stay unchanged. Check the new unit and enter the intended measurement, or select an example for that system.
Mistake: Treating a result as valid outside the described scope.
Fix: No. It estimates mixing water only. Friction must be calibrated for your mixer, speed, batch and mixing time; it does not plan ice additions.
