Every baker knows the feeling: you pull a loaf out of the oven and something went wrong. But why? BreadAdvisor closes the loop between what you planned and what you baked. PLAN A BAKE — before you start Submit your recipe (photo, paste, or URL) and get: • Baker's math: hydration %, salt %, yeast % calculated automatically • What to expect: crumb, crust, rise prediction for your exact recipe • Risk flags: the 2-3 things most likely to go wrong • Substitution advice: what changes if you swap rye for bread flour, or active dry for instant yeast • Add-in ideas: what works at your hydration and style CHECK YOUR DOUGH — while you bake Not sure if your dough is ready to shape? Take a photo. BreadAdvisor compares it to your starting reference and tells you: • Ready to shape now • Wait 30-45 minutes — recheck then • Borderline — shape now, expect limited oven spring • Overproofed — shape gently, skip final proof, bake immediately No more guessing. No more wasted loaves from over-fermented dough. LOG THE RESULT — after you bake Photo your finished loaf. BreadAdvisor diagnoses it against what it predicted: • What actually happened vs what was predicted • What went well (and why) • 2-3 specific tweaks for your next bake • One tap to plan v2 with those tweaks pre-filled THE LOOP THAT MAKES YOU A BETTER BAKER Plan → Check → Log → Plan v2.
