About Bread Boss
Making amazing and healthy bread is both an art and a science. Bread Boss takes care of the science, freeing your creative spirit and allowing you to spend your time doing what people do best: art! If you want more than a recipe book then Bread Boss is the tool for you. You can build novel recipes from working examples. You can convert your existing recipes and turn them into baker’s formulas (with percentages), allowing you to scale up or down your bread volume to suit your needs at any given time – no more calculations necessary – that’s Bread Boss’ job.
New to bread making? Don’t worry as Bread Boss comes with a set of supplied recipes developed by a master baker. Your home oven could be baking one of our delicious sourdough breads, a Rustic White, Stoneground, Walnut and Cranberry (we call it Walberry), Spelt, Quinoa and Mixed Seed, Hungarian Light Rye, Dark Rye, Olive and Thyme and many more. New recipes are regularly being added to the list.
Bread Boss creates alarms or notifications to remind you when each important task needs to be done, so you don’t need to worry or keep track of time. You can easily shift the alarms forward and back to align with your personal schedule. Once you’ve perfected your recipe, you can photograph the result to save with the recipe and share it with your fellow Bread Bosses.
Bread Boss is the synthesis and culmination of experience in baking and software engineering. Two brothers from different fields working together to create an app that removes the guess work and tedium of traditional bread making, so that you the Bread Boss can express your creative passions for healthy, tasty and beautiful bread.
Bread Boss is the indispensable tool for Bakers, Chefs, Baking Students, and Artisan Bread Makers at home.

Extremely flexible and useful
Jul 27, 2021 By Dr. WuTangThis is a great app if you need to calculate dough recipes with any kind of preferment. It’s explicitly designed for sourdough starters, but it’s also usable for biga calculations. I especially like how easy this app makes it to scale my recipes. You can tell a baker made this app. more -

OK app.
Jun 3, 2020 By Baker TomI recently purchased this app and quickly found a few items that would enhance the ease of use. I am use to using Excel for all my recipe calculations. First, since it is database driven, an extensive list of baking ingredients available by drop down would make it much easier to input new recipes. Now, you have to add each ingredient separately, unless you copy another recipe. Secondly, the ability to sort or list the ingredients in a recipe in the order desired. When I bake bread, I normally follow a set list of ingredients in the order I want to include them into the mix. At present, the app list them in the order it wants and I find that a bit irritating, not intuitive and prone to miss an ingredient. Third, have the ability to turn off all the extra bells and whistles, notices, explanations and other stuff that is on the page. A user should be able to setup the page in sections by turning a section on or off. For instance, I don’t need the alarm section on the recipe page unless I’m going to use them. Forth, there are several processes in the app that are not very user friendly or intuitive. They work, but until you figure out what the app wants, it can be a bit frustrating. I’ll most likely use the app for now, but will continue to look for updates or a better app. more -
Jun 17, 2018 By Randall NorthThis app is a comprehensive, well thought out, and easy to use aid for either the home or professional baker. It allows for easy recipe scaling, adding customized steps like autolyzing, soaking, and fermentation stages like levains or poolish. You can even keep track of recipe variations. Buy it, you will not regret it! more -
Very comprehensive bread baked no app
Sep 7, 2019 By randallnorthThis app allows very accurate hydration calculations for bread recipes. It accounts for the water needed for inclusions including any soakers needed for dry fruit, seeds etc. The developer is very responsive and offers an information packed website with recipes and tutorials. Multiple stages including levains, poolish, sourdoughs etc are possibile. Timers, personalized recipes and notes are supported. A number of starter recipes are included. This s the best bread baking app available. Buy it, you won’t regret it! more -
Nov 7, 2017 By musicpourmoiI found for the few times I bake its been a great 'go to' tool to refresh my skills and keep me on track. The support for troubleshooting and general enquiry is swift and detailed, especially in my experience with the sourdough breads. I look forward to trying your other recipes. Well done bread boss! more -
great app but needs some improvement
Aug 8, 2020 By jelly_f1shI've downloaded other apps and concluded that for the price and all the provided features, Bread Boss is worth the price. Although it's not as aesthetic as Rise, it has much more features offered with proper calculations at a much cheaper price. However, there are some things this app can improve on. I took one star away because the app tutorial got me spinning. It made me very confused, and took me a while to figure out how to operate the app. I also wished that there were explanations on how the calculations were made because the percentages made me very confused and I had to hand calculate to figure out the math. The different stages were also a bit confusing because different terminology was being used. For example, what is usually referred to as a fed and active starter or levain is called "sourdough" in the app. Perhaps this should be explained (maybe a page for vocabs?). I took another star away because it doesn't give me the option to define my starter's hydration. The app makes the starter, or sourdough, a stiff starter at 50% hydration. I wish that users can changes their starter's hydration. Another thing about starter is that the app doesn't let you adjust how much starter you have, how much you fed it, and how much you used. If you enter that you fed your 15g starter 40g flour and 40g water, the app automatically assumes you uses 80g of starter although you could use less or more. Overall, it is a really nice and feature-full app, but the different functions and terminologies needs to be explain better. more -
Feb 7, 2018 By Amy LeeThis app is great for both home bakers wanting to learn about sourdough and professional bakers wanting a place to store recipes and make life easier with the calculations being done for you and handy alarms to keep you on track, great support from the developers too. more -

The poor UI makes this nearly unusable

Apr 13, 2016 By Martin FogelBreadBoss is ideal not only for storing recipes but for helping you bake better bread. It is easy to input your recipe, either in weight of ingredients or in Baker's percentages. In multi-stage recipes, you can enter the duration of each stage and it will compute the schedule and set up alarms to alert you to the end of each stage. BreadBoss is an implementation of a professional baker's approach and taught me a number of things that have improved my bread. You can't go wrong with this. more -
Apr 19, 2016 By Philippe Le ToquinIf you have been making bread for some time and want to up your game then this app is going to help you a LOT. The app comes with some preloaded recipes that you can use as is our you can modify them to suit you. And of course you can enter new recipe. It is actually very easy to create a recipe using the template provided. You can add or remove ingredient. You can tweak the proportion of each ingredient as a percentage of the total flour (this is how professional baker do it ). It can be confusing to start with but once you have mastered it, there is no going back. There is also lots of help inside the app to explain it all. But the real magic to me is that you can enter your existing tested recipe. To avoid the headache of working out proportion there is a "PAUSE" mode that will allow you to enter each ingredients using its weight as used in your recipe. Once you "unpause", the app will then work out for you the correct percentage. Always done 1 bread at a time but suddenly need to make 2 or 3 or more. No problem! just tell the app how many loaves you need and it will adjust the amount automatically for you A must have application if you are serious about your bread more -

What’s Groovy
this could have been a great app, however it is full of flaws e.g. - not possible to use decimal points in grams (kind of important for yeast) - deleting the standard recipes is not possible

What’s Subpar
It is not clear how the app’s author is calculating the percentages shown in the various bread formulas. After trying to make sense of the percentages shown in various formulas, what did become really clear is that the percentages in the formulas are NOT consistent with the standards for baker’s percentages by the Bread Baker’s Guild of America (BBGA). Perhaps they have a different system down under?? If you are looking for an app to create and save bread formulas according to BBGA standards, look elsewhere.
