Sourdough Sanity: Bake Guide
Step-by-Step Sourdough Timer
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Let's Go!
The hardest part of learning sourdough is not the technique. It is the noise. Every blog gives you a different process. Every video contradicts the last one. Timing advice ranges from 4 hours to 18 hours with no explanation why.
Sourdough Sanity: Full Bake Guide cuts through all of that.
One proven process. From mixing your dough to pulling a finished loaf out of the oven. Built-in timers tell you when to move to the next step. Push notifications mean you can walk away and live your life while the dough does its thing.
WHAT THE APP DOES
The Full Bake Guide walks you through an 18-step sourdough bake from start to finish. Every step is laid out clearly. Every timer is built in. Every technique has a video so you can see exactly what to do before you do it.
FEATURES
18-step guided bake flow from autolyse through the final cool
Timers with push notifications at every stage
Temperature-based bulk fermentation timing so your bake adjusts to your actual kitchen conditions

Free. No ads. No paywalls. No subscription.
HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE?
A complete bake takes about 10 to 12 hours, but only about 45 minutes of that is hands-on. The rest is the dough doing its thing. The app sends you a push notification when it is time to do something. You do not need to watch the clock.
THE COMMUNITY
Every baker hits a wall at some point. Dense crumb, flat loaf, starter that will not cooperate. The Sourdough Sanity Bakers Community on Facebook is where you bring those questions. Everyone is following the same process, which means someone in the group has almost certainly been where you are and figured it out.
Find us by searching Sourdough Sanity Bakers Community on Facebook, or visit sourdoughsanity.com for guides, videos, starter instructions, equipment advice, and more.
One process. No guesswork. Great bread.

The final proof screen now shows a preheat reminder when your oven needs to go on, with a dismiss button to confirm you're on it. Final proof times have been adjusted to give beginner bakers a bit more buffer against under proofing.
