## What is BreadAdvisor?

Every baker knows the feeling: you pull a loaf out of the oven and something went wrong. But why?

BreadAdvisor closes the loop between what you planned and what you baked.

  PLAN A BAKE — before you start
  Submit your recipe (photo, paste, or URL) and get:
  • Baker's math: hydration %, salt %, yeast % calculated automatically
  • What to expect: crumb, crust, rise prediction for your exact recipe
  • Risk flags: the 2-3 things most likely to go wrong
  • Substitution advice: what changes if you swap rye for bread flour, or active dry for instant yeast
  • Add-in ideas: what works at your hydration and style

  CHECK YOUR DOUGH — while you bake
  Not sure if your dough is ready to shape? Take a photo.
  BreadAdvisor compares it to your starting reference and tells you:
  • Ready to shape now
  • Wait 30-45 minutes — recheck then
  • Borderline — shape now, expect limited oven spring
  • Overproofed — shape gently, skip final proof, bake immediately
  
  No more guessing. No more wasted loaves from over-fermented dough.

  LOG THE RESULT — after you bake
  Photo your finished loaf. BreadAdvisor diagnoses it against what it predicted:
  • What actually happened vs what was predicted
  • What went well (and why)
  • 2-3 specific tweaks for your next bake
  • One tap to plan v2 with those tweaks pre-filled
  
  THE LOOP THAT MAKES YOU A BETTER BAKER
  Plan → Check → Log → Plan v2. Each bake builds on the last. Your recipe library accumulates versions with
  side-by-side crumb shots and predicted-vs-actual notes. After 3-4 iterations you'll have a version of every recipe
  dialed in to your oven, your flour, your kitchen.
  
  FREE — start here
  • 3 bakes on us — no monthly reset, just on us
  • After that: watch a short ad to unlock another bake, or upgrade to Pro
  • Check Your Dough and Log a Bake are never gated — only Plan a Bake counts

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-25

Planning a change is simpler — tell us what you want in your own words instead of hunting through controls.
Also in this update: a cleaner share card, and a fix for text fields that could sit behind the keyboard.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-13

The biggest update since launch.

CHECK SHAPED DOUGH. Check Your Dough used to read bulk fermentation only, and turned away a loaf that had already been shaped. Now it reads either stage — in the bowl, in the banneton, or in the pan — and tells you where you are in the proof window.

YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED. Rename any recipe. Star the ones you'll make again and they sort to the top. Open a recipe's full version history, and revert to an earlier version when a change didn't work out.

SEE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Compare versions now fills in the real results from your logged bakes alongside what was predicted — crumb, crust, rise and score, side by side.

SCAN LONGER RECIPES. Recipe photo import now takes up to four shots, so a full-page recipe with the method on the back comes in whole.

SHARE THE BAKE. Preview your bake card before you send it, and save it straight to Photos.

Also in this release: clearer buttons and back arrows throughout, better photo handling when you log a bake, faster feedback when the connection drops, and a friendlier start for first-time bakers.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-09

Bug fixes: your next bake now starts automatically after watching an unlock ad, plus improved ad performance.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-05

Bug fixes: - Fixed an account-linking issue affecting new Pro subscriptions.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-01

No release notes.
