1000 g into 4 pizza balls?
1000 ÷ 4 = 250 g per ball.
Pizza dough ball weight comes from **splitting total dough** or from **flour + hydration**.
**Split mode:**
Per ball (g) = Total dough (g) ÷ Ball count
**Hydration mode:**
Water (g) = Flour (g) × Hydration% ÷ 100
Total (g) = Flour + Water
Per ball (g) = Total ÷ Ball count
**Example — 1000 g, 4 balls:**
1000 ÷ 4 = **250 g per ball**
Concise answers for common searches — definitions, steps, and comparisons.
1000 ÷ 4 = 250 g per ball.
Equal division of total dough weight, or total dough from flour plus baker's-percentage hydration divided by ball count.
Formula
per_ball = total_g / balls; or total_g = flour + flour×(hydration/100); per_ball = total_g / ballsSplit known total dough, or calculate from flour and hydration %.
Total dough grams or flour weight with target hydration.
Match the number of pizzas you plan to bake.
Scale each ball to the calculated grams on a kitchen scale.

Common real-world scenarios where this tool saves time.
1000 g dough → four 250 g balls for 10–12 inch pies.
500 g flour at 70% hydration → total dough and per-ball split.
1200 g ÷ 6 balls = 200 g personal pizzas.

| Style | Ball (g) | Hydration |
|---|---|---|
| Neapolitan | 200–280 | 60–65% |
| NY slice | 280–350 | 65–70% |
| Roman al taglio | 400+ | 75–80% |
| Personal | 180–220 | 60–65% |
Refrigerate balls 24–72 h after shaping for better taste.
Home ovens: 250–280 g; very hot stone ovens can use smaller balls.
Weigh each ball on a **kitchen scale** — uneven balls bake at different rates.
65% hydration means **water is 65% of flour weight**, not 65% of total dough.

Divide total dough by ball count — **1000 g ÷ 4 = 250 g** per ball.
Water as a **percentage of flour weight** — 500 g flour at 65% uses 325 g water.
Often **200–280 g** for 10–12 inch pies in a very hot oven.
Total = flour + (flour × hydration% ÷ 100), then divide by ball count.
Pizza Dough portions **balls and hydration**; Recipe Scaler multiplies **all ingredients** for more servings.
Often **65–70%** — higher than Neapolitan for a chewier crust.
Depends on size — **4 balls at 250 g** or **5 balls at 200 g** from 1000 g.
Yes if substituting types — 2 tsp active dry → **1.5 tsp instant**.
No — hydration is **water ÷ flour** only; salt is separate in the recipe.
Grams are more accurate — use **Baking Conversion** for flour cups to grams first.
Dough weights stay on your device — no upload to EverydayTools servers.
Ideal ball size varies with oven temperature, style, and skill — adjust weights based on your setup.
