Kneady Pizza

Tell it when you want to eat and it counts backwards — every step, time and gram worked out for you. Now with a Live Activity, a flour picker, and a pizza history quiz.

Great pizza is mostly about timing — and Kneady Pizza does the timing for you.

Tell it the style you're making and when you want to eat. It works backwards to a clear, step-by-step plan: when to mix, when it rises, when to shape, and exactly how much flour, water, salt and yeast to weigh — all from proper baker's percentages.

NO MORE GUESSWORK • Pick a style — Neapolitan, New York, Roman, Detroit, Sicilian, focaccia and more — and the recipe is seeded for you. • Set your serve time; the app plans the whole rise around it. • Yeast and timings adjust to your kitchen's temperature (fetch it automatically or set it by hand). • Tight on time? It warms the proof and nudges the yeast to fit your window before ever suggesting a quick dough.

A PLAN THAT FITS REAL LIFE • Quick, Cold or Warm proof — choose your pace. • Sleep-aware scheduling shifts hands-on steps out of the middle of the night. • "Start baking now" locks your times so they never drift when you reopen the app. • A Currently Cooking banner brings you back to the exact step you're on.

COOK FROM YOUR PHONE • Landscape cooking mode: one step per screen, swipe to move on, double-tap to tick it off. • Tap any step to read it full-screen, with a big clock pill for its timing notes. • Each step explains what to do, the kit you'll need, what to watch out for, and the why behind it.

FOR THE SERIOUS BAKER • A water temperature (DDT) calculator works out exactly what to mix your water at — with friction presets for hand kneading, a stand mixer or a spiral mixer. • Seven real flour presets — Caputo Pizzeria, King Arthur Bread Flour, All Trumps and more — each nudging hydration to suit. • Every slider now doubles as a typed exact number. • An illustrated poke-test guide appears right on the final proof step: underproofed, ready, or past its best. • Check on a bake from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island — no need to reopen the app to see how much longer the rise has left. • A real, sourced pizza history quiz — 21 questions on where every style actually comes from, with myths clearly flagged as myths.

KID MODE — MAKE PIZZA TOGETHER • A big, fun, mess-and-giggles mode for little chefs, with huge fonts, jokes and confetti. • Pick a pizza — Hawaiian, Margherita, Dino Pepperoni and more — or build your own and save it. • Choose the dough: "Right now!" (ready in about 30 minutes) or "Puffy & bouncy". • One giant animated step at a time, in kid words, with a grown-up hand-off for the hot oven. • The chef reacts to what you actually made, and finishing a pizza earns a real sticker for your collection. • A silly six-question pizza trivia round of its own. • Four modes to match your household — Kid, Villager, Pizzaiolo or Roman — from playful to full control.

PLAN THE WHOLE NIGHT • Choose classic pizzas — Margherita, Marinara, Diavola, Capricciosa, Prosciutto and more. • Get a scaled shopping list for dough and toppings, with rough cost estimates.

MADE TO ENJOY • Two looks: calm Classic or bold Vibrant. • Gluten-free mode with the right hydration and binders. • Friendly tips, facts and the odd terrible pizza joke along the way.
