Frequently asked questions

Does scaling always work for baking?
For most recipes, yes — but with some caveats. Leavening agents (baking powder, yeast) should not always scale linearly; for large multipliers (3×+) you may need to reduce them slightly. Cooking time and temperature also don't scale proportionally.
Can I scale down to fractions?
Yes. A 0.5× scale halves every ingredient. You can also enter decimal values like 0.33 for a third of a recipe.
