Sourdough Bread Proofing Timer

Read full description

Pick the moment you want to slice the loaf. Proofing Timer works backward through every fermentation step and tells you exactly when to mix, fold, shape, chill and bake. Most bread apps hand you a recipe and a stopwatch. Proofing Timer starts from the only time that matters, when you want to eat, and builds the whole schedule around it: autolyse, levain, bulk ferment, stretch and folds, preshape, final shape, cold proof, bake. Turn on reminders and your phone taps you on the shoulder at each stage, even with the app closed. WHAT YOU GET • A full bake schedule from one question: when should the loaf be ready? • Reminders for every fermentation stage, so no bulk ferment runs away from you again • Hydration in seconds: enter flour and water, or a target percentage, and get the answer • Bakers percentages for salt, levain and hydration on every recipe you save • A milestone log for each bake, from mix to oven, with notes on what you saw and felt • A history you can search, with a crumb score for every loaf so you can see what worked PERFECT FOR • Weekend bakers who want a Saturday loaf without a 5 a.m. alarm • Anyone whose starter is finally alive and wants the next bake to be repeatable • Bakers scaling a country loaf, ciabatta, focaccia, rye or brioche up or down • People who have lost track of a bulk ferment one too many times WHY NOT JUST USE NOTES AND A KITCHEN TIMER? A timer counts one stage. A recipe lists ingredients. Neither knows that a 12 hour cold proof and a 4 hour bulk mean you must mix by 3 p.m. on Friday to eat at noon on Saturday. Proofing Timer does that arithmetic for you, then remembers how every loaf turned out so the next one is better. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your recipes, schedules and bake history stay on this device. No account, no sign in, no ads, no tracking. Reminders are local notifications that never leave your phone. FULL ACCESS Proofing Timer is a paid app with three ways to unlock everything: a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings at any time. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Set your slicing time tonight and let Proofing Timer tell you when to start.

Plan each bake. Follow every step. Remember what worked. Flourwise brings your own recipes, baking schedules, timers and notes together on iPhone and iPad. Whether you're making sourdough bread, pizza, brioche, cakes or pastries, keep the whole bake in one place, from ingredient calculations to your finished result. YOUR RECIPES, READY TO BAKE Build a personal recipe collection. Add ingredients, photos and instructions, organize recipes by category, and keep favorites close at hand. Import with AI from a recipe link, a photo of a cookbook or handwritten recipe, or pasted text. Review and edit the imported recipe before baking, share it, or export it to PDF. A PLAN FOR EVERY BAKE Turn a recipe into a baking session with a schedule built from its steps. Choose when to start or when you'd like to finish. Follow the current step, pause and resume timers, and receive notifications when time is up. Add notes and photos along the way. A JOURNAL THAT HELPS YOU IMPROVE Keep a separate record of each bake, even when you use the same recipe. Rate appearance, taste, texture and process. Save photos of the result, record what worked, and note what you'd change next time. SOURDOUGH MATH, MADE PRACTICAL Use the baker's percentage calculator to work from a flour weight or a target dough weight, then divide and scale your dough. Include poolish, biga or sourdough starter with adjustable hydration. Account for the flour and water in preferments and the water content of ingredients such as eggs and milk. Lock your target hydration and switch between metric and imperial units. PIZZA DOUGH, YOUR WAY Choose Neapolitan, New York, Roman, Sicilian or Detroit style. Set the number and weight of dough balls, hydration and fermentation times and temperatures. Calculate yeast amounts for your schedule, include cold fermentation and preferments, blend flours, and plan autolysis. LOOK AFTER YOUR STARTER Log feedings with ratios, flour types and amounts. View feeding history and your feeding calendar, follow estimated readiness, and set reminders. Calculate flour and water for the next feed. If you've saved your jar's weight, check how much starter is inside. TOOLS FOR THE REST OF THE KITCHEN • Calculate water temperature for your desired dough temperature. • Convert fresh, active dry and instant yeast. • Adjust dough quantities for round, square and rectangular pans. • Convert Fahrenheit and Celsius. • Estimate ingredient and oven energy costs. • Estimate calories and macronutrients per batch, portion or 100 g.
