Bake better sourdough, from starter to crumb. Free, no ads, from the author of The Sourdough Framework. Log every bake, follow a guided bake step by step, and get answers from Hendrik's book. KEEP A REAL BAKE JOURNAL Log a bake in three taps: what you baked, when, and how it went. Hydration, salt, starter, bulk time and temperature, how you proofed it, how you baked it. Add photos. Every loaf stays searchable, so the one that worked in March is still there in November. SEE WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS Loafy reads your own bakes back to you: the hydration your best loaves share, how your ratings move as you change one thing at a time, how long your streak is. Not generic advice. Yours. ASK THE BOOK, NOT THE INTERNET Ask Loafy answers from The Sourdough Framework rather than from whatever a search engine turns up. Ask about a specific bake and it reads that bake's numbers before it answers. Every answer points at the chapter it came from. CHECK YOUR CRUMB Photograph the cut loaf and Ask Loafy reads the crumb on The Bread Code's crumb map: underfermented, overfermented, underbaked, or just right. Tell it which bake it was and the answer knows that bake's numbers. WATCH THE PART YOU NEED The Bread Code's videos play inside the guides and start at the moment the step needs, like the shaping part when you shape. Tell Loafy what went wrong with a bake and it shows the part that fixes it. BAKER'S MATH, DONE FOR YOU Bread and pizza calculators that work in baker's percentages. Scale a recipe to the flour you have, or to the number of loaves you want. A dough optimizer that tares your own bowls and bannetons so you can weigh dough without doing arithmetic. GUIDED BAKES Step-by-step journeys for making a starter, reviving one, and baking your first real sourdough loaf. Timers that keep running when you put the phone down. YOUR STARTERS Give them names and birthdays. Keep notes on how they behave. Share a starter's passport with whoever you gave some to. Everything syncs to your free Loafy account, so your journal follows you between devices.
