ProofPal

ProofPal is a mobile + web app for home bakers who struggle with inconsistent bread and pizza dough. Instead of generic “rise 1 hour” instructions, it helps you track fermentation in real life: you log flour type, hydration, starter/yeast amount, dough temperature, and room temperature, then the app predicts when to fold, shape, and bake. It includes a simple timer system that adapts when your kitchen is colder/warmer than expected, plus a “pause/resume” workflow for fridge retard. The AI component suggests adjustments (e.g., reduce yeast, change water temp, shorten bulk) based on outcomes you record like crumb, oven spring, and sourness. This is not a full recipe social network; it’s a practical execution tool for repeatable results, with a small library of proven base formulas.
