What's New in Impasto
2.1.0
September 26, 2026
• Completely redesigned recipe timelines with clearer step-by-step mixing instructions, visual cues, and precise stop points. • New dough temperature guidance shows kitchen, water, yeast water where relevant, and target dough temperatures together at a glance. • Added smarter explanations for temperature adjustments, warm kitchens, food processors, and preferments without cluttering the essential instructions. • Improved poolish, biga, and levain guidance with clearer timing and visible readiness cues, so you know what to look for rather than relying on the clock alone. • Improved bake date and time editing so changes are applied only after you finish choosing, preventing accidental schedule changes while scrolling. • Major translation, number-formatting, scheduling, and reliability improvements across all supported languages and pizza styles.
