A simple Python script to generate baking plans for the recipes in Tartine Bread

breadplan

Breadplan generates baking plans based on the recipes in Chad Robertson's Tartine Bread.

I wrote this script primarily for my own personal use, but if any of my fellow bakers want to use or modify it, be my guest!

Installation/Contents

The script is breadplan.py. There are a couple dependencies (docopt and tabulate), which you can install using pip install -r requirements.txt. Breadplan Science.ipynb contains the IPython notebook I used to do a little stats to get average density values for assorted flours.

Usage

Commands

• breadplan.py basic generates a recipe for Basic Country Bread
• breadplan.py baguette generates a recipe for baguettes
• breadplan.py rye generates a recipe for rye bread
• breadplan.py wholewheat generates a recipe for whole-wheat bread

Note that only Basic Country Bread and Whole Wheat bread are currently implemented; I'm working on the other recipes, though.

Options

• --hydration=PERCENT or -y PERCENT allows you to specify your own hydration percentage
• --loaves=LOAVES or -l LOAVES allows you to generate a recipe for a specified number of loaves (default is 2)
• --sugar or -s adds brown sugar for the crust (Chad Robertson doesn't use this, but I prefer it)
