The DoughRise philosophy

Competitors teach recipes
DoughRise upgrades bakers

Great baking isn't a talent you're born with. It's a system you build, understanding over guesswork, precision over luck. We built the tools that make that shift happen.

01 Foundation

Precision

Your dough has physics. We've calculated it. 25 calculators built on real baker's maths — hydration, fermentation, temperature, starter activity.

Free tools 25 Calculators
02 Understanding

Intelligence

Every result teaches you the science behind it. The AI Coach learns your bake history, your patterns, your schedule. It gets smarter the more you bake.

Baking variables covered 40+ Variables
03 Progress

Improvement

Every bake is a data point. We make them count. Log bakes, photograph your crumb, rate results. Spot patterns. Watch yourself get measurably better.

The science behind every bake

Why won't my dough rise?

We fixed that.

Six tools built around the moments bakers actually get stuck — fermentation timing, starter readiness, proof judgement, and diagnosing what went wrong. All backed by real baking science, not forum guesswork.

Pizza Science

The 72-hour cold ferment, this is how the pros do it

Most home pizza is made with dough that's been given an hour to prove. That's why it tastes like bread. A proper Neapolitan dough needs 48 to 72 hours — cold retard, slow fermentation, complex flavour. Our calculators take the guesswork out of every step, from initial hydration to the final ball weight.

  • Dough Portioning Calculator ball weight by oven size
  • Fermentation Planner ambient + cold timing
  • Hydration Adjuster flour absorption correction
  • Temperature Control target dough temp

Sourdough Science

Open crumb, wild yeast, real tang, here's the science behind it

Getting an open, irregular crumb in sourdough isn't luck or talent — it's the result of autolyse timing, correct hydration for your flour protein, bulk ferment temperature, and shaping tension. Every one of those variables has a calculator here. Use them together and your crumb will tell the story. Master how dough rises and every one of those variables starts to make sense.

  • Sourdough Starter Calculator feed ratios, timing
  • Fermentation Planner bulk + final proof
  • Autolyse & Rest Planner flour type + temp
  • Flour Protein Blend hit your target %

The founder

Why I built DoughRise

I'm Benjie, a software developer in London who got properly obsessed with sourdough a few years back. Most weekends started with a formula, a kitchen scale, and a lot of guessing about hydration, fermentation and timing.

I work in tech, so I started treating my starter like a bug report: check the inputs, log the results, work out what actually changed the outcome. That habit became the calculators, then the AI coach, then DoughRise.

I'm building this in the open as a solo founder. Founding members get the founding price locked for life and a direct line to me about what we build next.
