Is your sourdough starter ready to bake?
Learn the signs of a starter that is ready for bread: a predictable rise after feeding, bubbles throughout, and a pattern you can recognise in your own jar.
Follow the dough,
not just the clock.
How to tell when bulk fermentation is done
Read bulk fermentation using dough temperature, measured rise, bubbles and texture. Learn why the timer is an estimate and why every dough does not need to double.

things up.
The planned library covers white, wholemeal and mixed-flour sourdoughs, plus focaccias and other bread styles. Each recipe has its own formula, method and timing guidance. A focaccia’s tray proof and topping stage are different from shaping a country loaf, and the plan reflects that.
Where the recipe and current dough stage support it, the planner can help you use a cold rest or overnight proof and adjust the remaining steps. It does not simply pause fermentation or add arbitrary hours: refrigeration slows the dough, and readiness checks still matter. If the available time cannot work, change your start time or bake day.
Crispy Crust is an upcoming mobile sourdough baking companion. It brings starter care, flexible bake planning, step-by-step guidance, and a personal bake journal into one place, helping home bakers understand their dough and fit baking around everyday life.
Both. First Loaf mode is designed to explain each step in plain language, including what to look for. Baker mode puts formulas, measurements, and timers up front. You’ll be able to choose the level of guidance that works for you.
A recipe tells you what to make. Crispy Crust is being designed to help you actually make it: plan hands-on steps around your day, track your starter, record what your dough is doing, and learn from the results. Your recipe, timeline, and notes stay connected.
Yes — select your available hours, such as before 08:00 and after 18:00. The planner checks hands-on tasks against those windows and uses recipe-supported waiting or cold-proof stages where suitable. If a schedule cannot fit, it highlights the conflict. Fermentation still depends on your dough.
Dough follows temperature, ingredients, and biology, not an exact countdown. Crispy Crust is designed to combine timing estimates with your observations of rise, texture, and temperature, and explain when a useful check-in is needed.
The app is in development, and a release date and pricing haven’t been announced. We’re planning for iOS and Android. Join the early-access list and tell us your preferred platform to receive launch updates.
