Artisan Bread Maker for Pc

Update: Using the latest iOS on my 5s, the app no longer displays whole recipes: the recipe pages show all the amounts, but shows the name and identity of only the first few (unless you go into edit mode). Original review: I almost gave this four stars, because I have really embraced this app, but It does frustrate me. It should either supply a weight or allow me to define what various ingredients weigh per cup and per teaspoon, so I don't have to enter every amount in grams. I find it impossible to adjust the slider bar to within less than 20g of any given amount I want, except by chance, because I can't release it without jerking it. I have saved a screen shot of one lucky setting that I have made a favorite in my photo album, which I go to rather than trying to recreate it from the master recipe with the slider bar, and for another recipe I have created another recipe that was the same one scaled up. That would be a nice functionality, BTW, if when selecting to base a new recipe on an old one the app presented us a (non-tempermental) slider to base it on a larger or smaller loaf. (e.g. you might not want to make a chocolate loaf as big as the sandwich bread you based the recipe on). Anyhow, I use the app a lot, appreciate it and don't know of anything better.

No ratio calculator? I can google these “techniques”. How about a calculator that actually equates grams. Fermentation time. Temperature. Waste of money. Too late now.

Really, only 3 recipes? And after a 3rd update? And app has no traditional measurements (cups, teaspoons, etc.) only offers grams to measure. Deleted.

This is not a recipe book, nor is it an instruction manual. This is a very handy tool for recording your successful bread recipes and new experiments. I appreciate that the app makes it easy to use leaven and not just commercial yeast. I also like the fact that it is built on weights (grams which I prefer) and that it shows bakers percentages. In future versions I would like to be able to set the leaven hydration since I sometimes use a higher hydration of prefermented flour. I also have found some irregularities with how the percentages are displayed, I think that the flour percentage is shown based on total dough vs percentage of flour which is a bit different than I look at it. In a 90g wheat to 10g rye ratio I would expect to see 90% wheat and 10% rye but I see different values. This is not a major drawback but it would be handy to be able to select the method. The scaling feature is also handy though a bit too sensitive for me. Making it snap to 0.5 or similar increments would make it more useful. But all and all a very nice tool, the best one I have found for bread makers. I appreciate the work put into it and hope it keeps getting updated.
