sauryo

Change one number. The whole formula keeps up.

I built Sauryo to scale, convert, and adjust the doughs I already bake. Work by flour weight, total dough, or piece count. Either way, it counts the flour and water already in your starter for you.

True Hydration

Accounts for flour and water inside your starter. The number you see is the hydration in the bowl.

Flexible Scaling

Enter flour weight, total dough weight, or piece count. The formula resolves from whichever you set.

Starter Conversion

Convert between yeast and sourdough formulas. Build levains with target weight and hydration.

Custom Ingredients

Add liquids with partial water content, fixed-gram ingredients, or multiple flour types.

1.

Start from a template or a blank formula.

2.

Adjust flour, hydration, starter, and any custom ingredients.

3.

Get your dough weight, true hydration, or per-piece breakdown.

Why this exists

I built this to give the recipe away, not just the bread.

I love sharing what I bake, and I love it when other people enjoy it too. Short of handing someone a warm loaf, the next best thing is handing them the recipe so they can make it on their own. The clumsy part was always the handoff. I kept my formulas in spreadsheets, so sharing one meant sending an xlsx that the other person had to import into Excel, Sheets, or Numbers before they could even get to the recipe, and doing that on a phone only made it worse. The bread traveled better than the recipe did.

I'm a software engineer, so I rebuilt the recipe as the thing you'd actually want to receive: a link. You open it, change whatever you want, and pass it on. No file, no app to import into. It won't teach you to read a dough, that part still takes reps, but it takes the math and the sharing off your plate. It is also where my baking and my day job finally live in the same place.

I bake more than we can eat, on purpose.

Sauryo helps with the math.

The craft still happens in the bowl.
