Hello, home baker in California

Hello!

I'm a San Francisco-based sourdough and pizza home baker. I've used this site as a resource a number of times for information and inspiration!

I'm a professional software engineer, and I sometimes build tools that help me with my hobbies, including breadmaking! I built a tool for recording how long my dough spends between mix, folds, proof, etc. Here it is: https://www.thatbreaddough.com. Is this something that you would find useful? I'd love any feedback!

Thanks!

Ben

P.S.: Here are some of my loaves! Still working on my scoring...

Some of my sourdough loaves!

Hi Ben, this is a super cool tool to play with. I'm going to try it out next time I bake! Thanks for sharing it with us!

I’ll give the timer/recorder a try, probably over the weekend.  Thanks for sharing!

Aw, man!  I already blew it & forgot to use the timer...twice!  I am going to go put a post it, on my starter, right now, so when I go to bake the next batch, I won’t forget.  Thank you, so much, for the reminder.
