## What is Bread Buddy?

Bread Buddy is a reference for the ratios behind 126 baked things. Not a recipe feed to scroll — a card to read at the bench.

Pick what you're making. Pick the pan you're making it in. Read the weights off the card.

Every formula is a baker's percentage table with a reference weight, so the app can scale any of them to a real vessel. Change the pan or the batch and every gram recalculates, because no weight is ever stored — all of it is derived.

WHAT'S IN IT

• 126 formulas across eight families: Breads, Quick Breads, Cakes, Cookies & Bars, Pies & Tarts, Laminated & Choux, Creams & Frostings, and the Fundamentals the rest are built on.
• Baker's percentages and real gram weights, side by side, on every card.
• Method steps, bake temperatures in °F and °C, doneness cues, and troubleshooting — on all 126.
• Preferments handled honestly. A poolish, a biga or a tangzhong is folded into the maths so its flour counts once, not twice.

TWO WAYS TO SCALE

Scale by yield — a 9 × 5 in loaf pan, 36 macarons, a half sheet — or by weight, when you'd rather start from 800 g of flour or 1.7 kg of dough. Switch between them and your batch carries across, so the numbers never jump.

PANS YOU CAN SEE

Every vessel a recipe offers is drawn, not listed, and drawn to scale against the others — a 6 in round is visibly smaller than a half sheet. No more comparing five strings that differ somewhere in the middle.

KEEP YOUR PLACE

Star the cards you come back to. The last few you opened stay on the front page. The pan you chose is remembered for next time.

NO ACCOUNT, NO NETWORK

Bread Buddy works entirely offline. There is no sign-in, no sync, no ads, no analytics, and no network connection of any kind. Nothing you do in the app leaves your device.

One price, everything included. iPhone and iPad.
