BreadIQ is the bread baking app built by a Certified Executive Chef and CIA ProChef II — professional-grade fermentation science, for home bakers. Tell BreadIQ what you want to make. It handles the rest. Select your bread type, loaf format, and flour, then hit calculate. BreadIQ's Predictive Fermentation Model™ formulates your recipe, calculates a precise proofing timeline, and shows you what the bread costs to make — before you measure a single gram of flour. No more guesswork. No more inconsistent results. No more recipes that weren't scaled for what you actually need. ACTIVE BAKE — GPS for your bake. Live timers and push notifications guide you from mixer to oven at every stage, so you don't have to watch the clock. PREDICTIVE FERMENTATION MODEL™ — Proofing timelines calculated from the real variables in your dough: flour, yeast percentage, hydration, ambient temperature, sweetener type, and pre-ferment. Choose biga, poolish, or cold ferment and BreadIQ times each stage precisely for your formula — professional technique, no manual math. Precise windows, not guesswork. CONTEXT-AWARE RECIPE SCALING — Three pizza balls, a dozen dinner rolls, six-inch loaves — BreadIQ scales ingredients, yeast, and fermentation timing to exactly what you need. HUMIDITY ADJUSTMENT — Input your kitchen's relative humidity and BreadIQ calibrates your formula and proof timeline to match. SPEEDRUN™ — Need bread fast? SpeedRun compresses the fermentation window using temperature and yeast rate — engineered urgency, not a shortcut. FULL FLOUR SUPPORT & AUTOLYSE — 8 flour types, from bread flour to ancient grains like spelt and einkorn, each dynamically adjusted for hydration and fermentation. BreadIQ automatically applies and adjusts autolyse where it helps, handling mixing and rest times so you don't have to think about it. LIVE PROBE TRACKING — Pair a Combustion Predictive Thermometer and BreadIQ tracks your dough's real temperature live — refining your proofing timeline as your bake actually progresses, then watching the oven for you and letting you know the moment your bread is done, so you don't have to. NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS — Estimated nutrition for every bake, calculated from USDA ingredient data. (Informational only, not lab verified.) RECIPE IMPORT — Any recipe — website, cookbook, handwritten card, or straight from your browser with Chrome extension support — becomes a precision BreadIQ formula. Photograph it, paste a URL, or type it in. BAKE QUEUE & SCHEDULE BAKE — Stage a bake for later, or tell BreadIQ when you want your bread ready. It calculates your start time and reminds you thirty minutes ahead. REAL-TIME COST INSIGHT — See an estimated cost for your bread the moment your recipe generates, based on referenced ingredient pricing. Premium users can enter exact ingredient costs for precise numbers. SAVE & EXPORT RECIPES — Every recipe saves to your library and exports to a professionally formatted file, ready to reference anywhere. BUILT BY A PROFESSIONAL. DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE. Developed by a Certified Executive Chef and CIA ProChef Level II with over 20 years in professional kitchens — two decades of knowledge, in a tool anyone can use. The subscription pays for itself. An 8" boule costs about $1.00 to make at home versus $6–10 at a bakery. Bake twice a week and the math takes care of itself. Download BreadIQ and make your best bread yet.
