Sourdough Bulk Planner for iPhone

Sourdough Bulk Planner

Sourdough Bulk Planner lets you pick when you want to bake, then works backward through starter readiness, mixing, folds, bulk, shaping, cold proof, and bake alerts so your dough has a realistic path before you start.

Sourdough Bulk Planner is built for bread, pizza dough, cold proofing, freezer paths, native reminders, and repeatable formulas without making sourdough feel like homework.

Sourdough Bulk Planner is made for the moment before you bake.

New bakers get a guided setup. Experienced bakers can still control formula, starter percent, hydration, grain mix, water temperature, proof path, and alerts.

Bake-time first

Start with the time you want bread or pizza ready.

The app checks whether the plan is realistic and tells you when to feed starter, mix dough, stop bulk, shape, chill, or bake.

Beginner friendly

Guidance explains what matters.

If starter timing, cold proof length, or overnight bulk gets tricky, the setup calls it out before you commit to the schedule.

Baker controls

Keep the knobs that matter.

Use saved formulas, change grain mix, tune hydration, choose pizza size, adjust oven path, and save what works for next time.

Learning starter care? Meet Rise & Grumble.

Rise & Grumble is the playful companion app for keeping a starter alive. Feed it, move it from counter to fridge, watch the curve, and learn what neglect, warmth, and feeding ratios actually do.

Starter trainer

A virtual starter with a little attitude.

The app teaches starter care through a revive-a-neglected-starter quest, real-time feeding windows, temperature scenes, and plain-language feedback.

Same sourdough family

Use one site for both apps.

Sourdough Bulk Planner handles bake scheduling. Rise & Grumble helps new bakers understand the starter before the dough plan begins.

1

Choose bread, pizza, or freezer path

Tell the app what you are making so the schedule, formula math, and finish steps match the dough.

2

Pick the target time

Use a bake time for bread and same-day pizza, or a ball/freezer target when pizza dough is headed to cold storage.

3

Set starter readiness

Feed now, use a recent feed, log a past feed, or confirm that the starter will be ready by mix time.

4

Build or load the recipe

Pick loaf or ball count, size, crumb goal, flour path, and any saved formula you want to use.

5

Review and start

The app shows the realistic plan, recipe amounts, water temperature, and reminders before the schedule locks in.

Recipe builder instructions are built into Sourdough Bulk Planner.

The builder keeps recipe decisions plain enough for a new user, while still showing the actual baker math behind the dough.

Bread

Choose loaves, size, feel, and flour path.

Small, standard, and large loaves scale the batch. Easy, balanced, and airy guide hydration and handling. White, mixed, and whole grain guide fermentation and flour breakdown.

Pizza

Choose balls, pizza size, crust style, and storage.

Build for 10, 12, or 14 inch pizzas, then choose whether the dough is baked soon, cold proofed, or frozen after balling.

Formula math

See the grams before you mix.

The app calculates total dough, fresh flour, water to add, starter, salt, oil when used, water temperature, and fresh flour breakdown.

Save and repeat

Keep your working formulas.

Load a saved formula, update it after edits, or save a new version when you find a bread or pizza dough you want to repeat.

See the plan, the formula, and the alerts.

Use the guide to make the plan, the formula view to verify grams, the timer to follow the bake, and logs to improve the next one.
