About Crave the Crust

Welcome to our passion project, a place where the love for sourdough bread and the endless pursuit of perfection come together. In the enchanting city of Utrecht, we started our journey as enthusiastic home bakers, discovering the fascinating world of sourdough bread. My name is Diederik, hence Crave the Crust, and I am excited to share the story of our adventure with you.

Our journey began with curiosity a year ago. I took on the challenge of creating my own sourdough starter, which meant mixing water and flour daily for 14 days and letting it ferment. At first, it seemed like a pointless endeavor, and friends and family thought I was crazy. By day 10, nothing much had happened, but on day 12, something magical occurred: my own sourdough starter came to life.

With our lively starter, we began our quest for the ideal bread formula. However, in our pursuit of the perfect recipe, we kept facing challenges. The right calculator that provided the precision and customization options we needed was nowhere to be found. So, we decided to embark on our own journey—to create the ultimate bread formula calculator.

Driven by curiosity and the pursuit of perfection and ease of use, we combined our expertise in the world of sourdough bread. After hours of research, experimentation, and dedication, we proudly present our creation: an intuitive, versatile, and user-friendly tool that enables you to bake and continually refine your perfect sourdough bread.

Whether you are a seasoned baker or just starting your baking journey, our calculator is designed to guide you on the path to bread-making perfection. We hope you are as excited about the results as we are.
