Most dough calculators just give you grams. PizzaChef works backward from when you actually want to eat - preferments, cold retard, room-temp proof - and tells you exactly when to start. It adjusts for the oven you're really using too: a 500°C outdoor oven and a 250°C home oven need different advice, and most tools pretend they don't. Covers Neapolitan, New York, Detroit, and Roman/teglia, plus an AI coach and bake-log photo analysis for dialing in over time.
