Culinary Recipe Portion & Baker's Yield Scaler

Proportional recipe scaling preserves baker's hydration and flavor ratios by multiplying every original ingredient weight Q_orig by the yield conversion factor (S_new / S_orig).

Q_new = Q_orig × (S_new / S_orig)

Step-by-Step Calculation

01Canonical Law: Q_new = Q_orig × (S_new / S_orig)
02Given Inputs (Base Units): Q_orig = 300, S_new = 10, S_orig = 4
03Solve for Q_new (Scaled Ingredient Amount): Q_new = 750

Proportional recipe scaling preserves baker's hydration and flavor ratios by multiplying every original ingredient weight Q_orig by the yield conversion factor (S_new / S_orig).

Real-World Reference Values

Recipe Scaling MultiplierS_new / S_orig = 2.50×

Multiply all ingredients by this constant factor

Baker's Percentage (Flour = 100%)Set S_orig = 100, S_new = Flour (g)

Converts baker's % Q_orig directly into grams Q_new

Round Cake Pan Area ScalingUse D_new² / D_orig²

A 10-inch pan has 100/64 = 1.56× the area of an 8-inch pan

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I scale a recipe when I only have a limited amount of one key ingredient?+

Click SOLVE FOR on S_new (Target Servings), enter the recipe's required amount as Q_orig and what you have on hand as Q_new.

How can I use this as a Sourdough Baker's Percentage calculator?+

Set S_orig = 100 and S_new to your total flour weight in grams (e.g., 1000 g). Then any baker's percentage entered in Q_orig (e.g., 72% water) outputs 720 g in Q_new.

Do baking times scale linearly when doubling a batch in a single deep pan?+

No. Ingredient masses scale linearly, but heat conduction time scales roughly with the square of batter depth.
