DoughPace is the sourdough companion app that thinks in biology, not clocks. Just a thermometer, your dough, and a little patience.
Get DoughPace — $9Built for bakers who care about the craft
You've followed the recipe exactly — 5 hours bulk fermentation, 8am to 1pm — and your dough is either a sticky puddle or a dense brick. Sound familiar?
The truth is, fermentation is driven by temperature and biology, not the clock on your wall. A dough at 68°F needs a completely different timeline than one at 78°F. Static recipes can't account for your kitchen, your starter, or your flour.
DoughPace accounts for all of it — in real time, as you bake.
Log your dough temperature and DoughPace instantly recalculates your remaining bulk time — stretching or contracting your timeline based on real fermentation biology.
A beautiful visual progress bar shows exactly where you are in bulk fermentation and when your shaping window is arriving — updating live as you log new readings.
Timed fold reminders adapt to your dough type and pace. Each fold comes with a gentle technique tip. Check them off as you go with a satisfying tap.
Choosing an overnight retard? DoughPace tracks the 4-hour cooling window and calculates your exact optimal baking window for the next morning.
Jalapeño-cheddar, cinnamon-honey, enriched doughs — DoughPace adjusts bulk time and fold schedules automatically for savory and sweet inclusion loaves.
At the end of every bake, generate a complete summary of your temperatures, timeline, folds, and baking window. Copy it, print it, keep it.
Tell DoughPace your dough temperature, room temperature, dough type, and starter. It calculates your personalised bulk fermentation estimate before you even start.
Log temperature readings during your stretch-and-folds. DoughPace recalculates your timeline in real time — speeding up or slowing down based on what your dough is actually doing.
When your shaping window arrives, DoughPace tells you. Same-day bake or overnight retard — you'll know exactly when to score and load your Dutch oven.
DoughPace reads your dough temperature and assigns it a Pace — a simple, human way to understand where fermentation stands right now.
