Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Scale bread, sourdough and pizza recipes, calculate hydration and preferments, control dough temperature, and run every baking timer in one focused app.
The Baker is your ultimate digital baking companion, engineered for absolute precision in the kitchen. Whether you are managing a multi-day sourdough schedule, tracking your sourdough starter feeding cycle, or calculating baker's percentages for a busy bakery, The Baker brings clarity to every mix, proof, and bake.
GUIDED, SCALABLE RECIPES
Follow detailed, step-by-step guided baking instructions for artisan bread, sourdough, pizza dough, and pastries. Build your own digital recipe book, import recipes directly from the web, and scale any recipe - from a single home loaf to large batches - without breaking a sweat. Every recipe is broken into clear stages with timers attached so you never lose track.
PROFESSIONAL BAKING CALCULATORS
Ditch the spreadsheets. Calculate baker's percentage and exact hydration levels instantly. Use the Desired Dough Temperature (DDT) and Final Dough Temperature (FDT) calculators to nail your water temperature every time. Calculate pre-ferments including Biga, Poolish, Sponge, and Pate Fermentee. Convert between volume, weight, and temperature units on the fly using the built-in unit converter.
PRECISION MULTI-STEP TIMERS
Never miss a stretch and fold or overproof a dough again. Set concurrent, multi-step proofing timers for complex bakes and get notified exactly when your dough needs attention. Monitor bulk fermentation timing and manage multiple recipes at once with confidence.
SOURDOUGH STARTER ASSISTANT
Track your sourdough starter feeding schedule with the built-in feeding calculator. Monitor hydration constraints, get peak activity estimates, and receive contextual tips for maintaining a healthy, active starter - whether you are just beginning your fermentation journey or managing a mature culture.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Welcome to the latest update of The Baker! In this version:
- Dough Hydration: the results card now shows total flour and total water including your starter, so they add up to the hydration shown. When you use a starter, a breakdown is shown too. Results are calculated when you tap Calculate.
- Number fields across the calculators keep exactly what you type. "12.5" no longer turns into "12.50", and the cursor stays where you left it.
- Starter Feeding now counts one use of your free premium-tool allowance per visit, instead of one for every change you make. Premium-tool counts have been reset.
- VoiceOver: the starter amount, target hydration and text size sliders now say their name and their real value, and the feeding-ratio chips say which ratio they are.
- Number fields now have a Done button above the keypad, and tapping outside a field also closes the keypad, so you can move on without scrolling.
- Restore Purchases now unlocks Pro right away, even when you own more than one item such as Lifetime and an expansion pack.
- Continued compatibility, security, and stability maintenance.
