1. Choose your DDT
Set the desired dough temperature that suits your formula and production schedule—for example, 24°C.
Micro bakery workflow
Production consistency without spreadsheet maintenance
The Baker is built for repeat baking: formulas, timers, hydration, preferments, and temperature tools stay close to the actual kitchen workflow.
- ✓Scale recipes from test batches to customer orders
- ✓Keep baker's percentages and hydration consistent
- ✓Calculate poolish, biga, sponge, and pate fermentee workflows
- ✓Use DDT/FDT tools for better dough temperature control
- ✓Run multiple timers from one app
Dough temperature in action
Keep fermentation predictable from one batch to the next
The DDT and FDT tools help you choose the right mixing-water temperature, then check whether the finished dough reached your target.
2. Enter today’s conditions
Add the current flour and room temperatures, plus the preferment temperature when your formula uses one.
3. Prepare the mixing water
Use the DDT result as your target water temperature instead of guessing or repeating yesterday’s setting.
4. Check the FDT
Measure the dough after mixing and enter its final temperature. Use that result to make the next batch more consistent.
Rolling production schedule
Plan backward from oven capacity and collection time
A practical micro-bakery schedule connects mixing, folds, bulk fermentation, dividing, proofing, baking, cooling, and packing. Stagger batches when the mixer, refrigerator, oven, or available labor cannot handle every loaf at once.
- ✓Calculate each batch from target loaf count and dough weight
- ✓Use named concurrent timers for folds, bulk, proofing, and baking
- ✓Use actual timing and dough temperature when planning the next production day
Spreadsheet replacement
Replace bakery spreadsheets with tools made for dough
Spreadsheets can work until formulas break, phones are floury, or batch sizes change under pressure. The Baker keeps recipe scaling, calculators, timers, and dough tools in one mobile workflow.

Use cases
Built for repeat production
Use case: A cottage baker preparing 18 loaves can scale the base formula, calculate preferment quantities, and run fermentation timers from the same app.
Use case: A micro bakery can move from a test batch to larger production batches while keeping baker's percentages and hydration consistent.
Use case: A baker selling weekly pizza orders can scale dough balls, organize formulas, and repeat successful schedules later.
