Enter your pan's inside measurements, then press Calculate.
From the book — Chapter 4. Dough = pan area × your number (ours is 1.2 g per cm² for a thick focaccia; 0.8 is thin, 1.4 tall). A round pan is π × radius × radius — and twice as wide is four times the dough.

The focaccia number is this book's own, not a published standard. Yours is one weighing away: dough weight ÷ pan area. Everything stays in your browser — no sign-up, nothing stored.
