Noodle calculator

Build a dough formula, weigh your ingredients, and keep a version you can refine.

Portions

Number of portions

Portion size (g)

Fresh, uncooked noodles per portion. Flour quantities are calculated automatically.

Flour blend

Enter the protein per 100 g on your flour package, for example 12g. This is a label estimate; it does not predict gluten strength, dough handling or finished texture.

Flour 1

Flour 1 name

Flour 1 protein (g per 100 g)

Changing a blend percentage automatically adjusts the other flours to total 100%.

Water & salt

Target hydration (%)

Salt (%)

Percentages of wheat flour. Water in eggs and liquid kansui is deducted automatically.

Kansui

Kansui amount (% of flour)

Bottle composition by weight: water, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate. The three values must total 100%.

Water (%)

Sodium (%)

Potassium (%)

Sodium carbonate can favor chewiness; potassium carbonate can favor firmness. For dry salts, set water to 0%.

Extra ingredients

Choose an ingredient and its amount. Estimated protein and water are included automatically.
