Bake With Confidence, Not Calculations

Stop stressing about the math. Start enjoying the baking.

Before BenchProof

  • "Did I multiply 1.5 or 1.25?" at 2 AM before farmer's market
  • Your hydration is "somewhere around 75%" (spoiler: it's 68%)
  • Three different spreadsheet versions, none of them current
  • "Why is this dough so sticky?" (because your math was wrong)

After BenchProof

  • Scale 2 loaves to 47 loaves without breaking a sweat
  • Know your exact hydration to 0.1% - nail it every time
  • One source of truth synced everywhere
  • Schedule backwards from "bread ready at 8 AM" automatically

Handles Every Type of Recipe

Multi-day recipes? Sourdough starters?

We calculate it all correctly. Preferments, levains, poolish—automatic flour and water accounting across every stage.

Scale your way

"I have 500g of flour" or "I need 6 loaves" or "Make this fit my bowl"— BenchProof understands how you actually think.

Starter calculations that make sense

No more guessing at inoculation percentages. Tell us how much starter you have, and we'll adjust everything automatically.

Production timelines that adapt

Need to finish at 8 AM? Or start at midnight? Set your time and watch the schedule flow. Adjust any step and everything updates.

Work Backwards From When You Need It

Need fresh bread at 8 AM Saturday? Tell BenchProof when you want to finish, and it calculates every step backwards:

Questions? We've Got Answers.

Why not just use a spreadsheet?

You could! But after your first scaling mistake ruins a batch, or the fifth time you can't find the right version on your phone, you'll understand why bakers are switching to BenchProof for reliable, accessible calculations.

I'm new to baker's percentages. Will I understand this?

Absolutely. We have guides and the interface shows both percentages and weights. You'll learn by doing, and it'll click within your first recipe.

What about my grandmother's handwritten recipes?

Type them in once, and they're preserved forever. Scale them for any occasion. Share them with family. Keep the tradition alive with modern tools.

How is this different from other recipe apps?

Most recipe apps are digital cookbooks. BenchProof is a professional calculator built specifically for baker's percentages, multi-stage formulas, and production schedules. It's designed for bakers who think in ratios, not just home cooks following recipes.
