What does the recipe scaler preserve?
It scales each ingredient by the same ratio, so the formula's baker's percentages and ingredient relationships stay the same.

Common questions.
Can I scale to a target dough weight?
Yes. You can scale by a simple multiplier or ask for a specific final dough weight, then copy the adjusted ingredient weights.
Does scaling change fermentation time?
The ingredient ratios stay the same, but larger or smaller dough masses can warm and cool differently. Check dough temperature and fermentation cues after scaling.
Is this only for sourdough?
No. It works for sourdough, yeasted bread, pizza dough, focaccia, enriched doughs, and any formula expressed as ingredient weights.
