I was wondering if anybody could help me in figuring out how to change a recipe to make the exact amount of dough that I need for my pans. I have two favorite bread recipes and want to scale them so that they will make either 1800 grams of dough or 3600 grams.
TIA,
Lisa

Hi,
My "breadsheet" (link) does exactly that, though first you'd have to determine the bakers' percentages for your recipe.
I'd be happy to help if you like (but only if the recipe is in grams! Cups and teaspoons confuse me completely :) ).
We can show You how
Lisa,
If you like you can post your recipe I'll show you how to do it. Jaydot's spreadsheet is a good way to go too.

This is the white bread
Here you go...
Well, assuming my conversion of those wretched tablespoons to grams is correct, I think these would be the quantities you want.
Also assuming I pressed the right buttons in Google docs, you should be able to edit it, but it's probably best to download it to your own computer. You can enter any dough weight you want in the appropriate field.
Let me know if it works!
(Edited to add: it's "in dutch", so the periods and the commas are the other way around; we use a decimal comma instead of a decimal point).
Thank you very much, Jaydot.
Thank you very much, Jaydot. I live in Germany so the decimal comma is known to me. I will see what happens. Not sure if I will get to bake until early next week, though.

p.s. Sorry, I forgot to
p.s. Sorry, I forgot to translate the "wretched" Tablespoons :) ;)
I solve that problem in that I brought my American measuring spoons with me. LOL

RE: Question about dough amounts.
have a clear view on how big your pan is from there you can estimate it...
