I've always been a little intimidated by baking bread for family or friends, because the risk of forgetting something is high, and making sure your bread is ready at the exact time you need it can be difficult to plan. Still, I've been baking bread for over 4 years now and finally tackled the problem with planning recipes once and for all. After sharing it with a couple of friends and online, I realized just how many people craved such an app, so I decided to add some more features to the beta and release it. So now, here we are. I sincerely hope you will enjoy the app!
