What to ask

• "Calculate two loaves at 78 % hydration with 20 % whole grain."
• "My starter smells like acetone. What does the book say?"
• "Why is my sourdough so dense?" together with a photo of the crumb
• "Pizza dough for four, Neapolitan, in a home oven."
• "Walk me through my first sourdough loaf."

The tools

• Bread dough calculator

  Calculate a sourdough bread recipe in grams from loaf count, loaf size and hydration. Returns flour, water, starter and salt, plus a link to the same recipe on loafy.ai where the baker can adjust it and run the timers.

• Pizza dough calculator

  Calculate pizza dough in grams from the number of pizzas, the ball weight and hydration, with either fresh yeast or sourdough starter. Returns flour, water, salt, leavening and toppings, plus a link to the same recipe on loafy.ai.

• List guided journeys

  List Loafy's guided sourdough journeys: making a starter, baking a loaf, scoring, and more. Each one is a timed, step-by-step walkthrough on loafy.ai. Use this to find the right journey before starting one.

• Start a guided journey

  Start one of Loafy's guided journeys and get the link that opens it at the first step. The journey runs on loafy.ai, where each fold, proof and bake is timed for the baker.

• Look up a journey step

  Look up one step of a guided journey: its title, how long it takes and the link that opens it. The instructions themselves are on the page, where the timer for that step runs.

• Find a sourdough answer

  Search Loafy's library of sourdough answers: real questions from bakers, answered by Hendrik Kleinwächter of The Bread Code and grounded in his book The Sourdough Framework. Use this before answering from memory when a starter won't rise or smells of acetone, a loaf comes out dense, gummy or flat, a dough is sticky or overproofed, and for fermentation timing, hydration, scoring, baking and storage. The answers are in English, so search in English.

• Search The Sourdough Framework

  Search Hendrik Kleinwächter's open-source book The Sourdough Framework and get the passages that answer a question, each with its chapter and a link. Use it for the why behind starters, fermentation, flour, hydration, shaping, baking and troubleshooting, and cite the chapter. The book is written in English, so search in English.

Every tool only reads. None of them changes anything, and none needs a Loafy account. Each answer links back to loafy.ai, where the timers and the bake journal live.

Privacy

Loafy's tools see only what Claude sends for a call, such as the dough amounts to calculate or the words to search the book for, and use it to answer that call. In our database we keep a count of each call: which tool, which assistant and when, not the words of the request. What you write to Claude itself is covered by Anthropic's privacy policy. The details are in section 3.7 of Loafy's privacy policy.
