Artisan Bread Maker 4+

This app is extremely useful when your breadmaking keep all your records on it for the different types of bread also it allows you to scale up if you need to I’d recommend this to any part time breadmaker.

A great App which does what it says on the packet. I’ve only used it for the last hour but already it seems that I can now I can throw away all my scraps of paper.

Just one minor inconsistency - why on earth give the finished weight in Pounds. Enter ingredients in Grams, finished weight should be in Kilograms.

As I try to use it more the limitations become clear. For basic breads it’s great but with something a little more complicated it struggles. A couple of examples:

1. The App includes ‘Leaven’ and can take it into account for hydration calculations. However if you want to use a Spelt leaven a new ingredient has to be created which is not considered in the calculation.

2. There doesn’t appear to be an easy way to show the ingredients for a preferment separately.

3. Some recipes will include small quantities of spice, eg. Caraway and Anise. In such cases a measure in teaspoons would be very helpful.

A great App but for me it’s disappointing. I thought I’d found a way to get rid of my written notes but for now they will remain and my search continues.

If you are starting out baking bread this is perfect for making notes of your recipes. Yep that’s it that’s the review it’s perfect. Oh and free. I’d for sure pay for this one.
