What's New in Impasto
1.3.3
July 25, 2026
TIMING AND ACCURACY Home Oven and Neapolitan, Flavour pace: the cold ferment now runs exactly 48 hours. It was running 47 hours 50 minutes while the app told you 48 to 72, a range a fixed schedule can never deliver. The recipe starts about an hour and a quarter earlier so the number you read is the number you get. Two timeline steps had no clock time attached. They looked fine, but nothing else could see them: not the scheduler, not Bake Later, not reminders. Both are anchored now. UNDER THE HOOD We audited the recipe engine end to end: every style, method, pace, hydration, batch size, kitchen temperature and yeast type. Around eight thousand combinations. Hydration, salt, preferment share and levain build all reconcile exactly, and the levain maths correctly accounts for the flour and water already inside your starter. As ever: these are calibrated starting points, not physics. Watch the dough.
