Improve your home bread baking by ensuring that the temperature of your dough is in the perfect range when you are done mixing it. Professional bakers have a Desired Dough Temperature that they target by adjusting the temperature of the water they use. This simple app let's you do the same at home. The temperature of your kitchen, your flour, and your sourdough starter may be different today than they were the last time you baked. This app makes it easy for you to calculate the temperature of the water you should use so that your finished dough is the same temperature every time - no matter how cold or hot your kitchen and ingredients are. As you enter the temperatures of the elements you can't control, you'll update the computed value of the water temperature. This app allows you to work in Celsius or Fahrenheit and to adjust the friction factor to tune the formula to the methods you use. You can now save your mixes so that you can return to bake familiar recipes without entering everything from scratch. It's a simple app that does just one thing - but that one thing will help you take your bread baking to a new level.
