If you've ever stared at a recipe and thought "I wish this was sourdough" (or the opposite, "I just want to use yeast today"), this might save you some math.
I built a free converter that handles it both ways. Paste in a recipe, and it does the work.
What it does:
- Converts yeast recipes to sourdough with a full levain build and adjusted fermentation times
- Converts sourdough recipes back to commercial yeast with correct ratios
- Detects enriched doughs (brioche, milk bread, challah) and adjusts accordingly
- Calculates hydration automatically
- Gives you complete method steps, not just ingredient swaps
- Lets you edit ingredients if the parser misreads something
- Saves your converted recipes for later
- Downloads as PDF or prints cleanly
- Works in English and Spanish
No signup. No email. Just use it.
Hope it's useful to some of you. Happy baking.
