In baking various types of bread using a baking application linked with a real-time moisture measurement device for a baking oven according to the present invention, first, the ingredients are mixed through a series of processes including mixing, kneading, and fermentation of various raw materials until the bread is baked. On the other hand, the user downloads and runs the baking application on the smartphone 100, enters user information including a name, nickname, account, etc., and also directs the brand and model of the oven for baking bread. Input and save oven information including (see FIG. 4).

And, in baking a specific bread, it is possible to drive a recommended program or a user program by selecting a search item or a generated item of the application.

When the search item 120 is selected, data recommended by experts, etc., is transmitted through the server 300 in a remote location, that is, the optimum temperature according to the type of bread to be baked (eg, protein bread, baguette bread, etc.) Information and humidity information can be provided according to the oven selected by the user.

In addition, when the generation item 130 is selected, the user can directly input temperature information and humidity information for a specific bread through a user program (see FIG. 5).

Accordingly, through the screen of the corresponding smartphone, the set temperature 122a and the set humidity required by the oven according to the type of bread to be baked currently through the recommended program 122 or the user program 132 are as target values. Can be displayed (see Fig. 6).

Thereafter, the user operates the oven 50 to bake bread, and at the same time operates the moisture measuring device in which the temperature measuring pin 20 and the moisture measuring pin 22 are inserted into the bread baked in the oven. The start button 140 of the baking application driven on the smartphone 100 is also operated at the same time.

Accordingly, while wireless communication is made between the main body 10 of the moisture measuring device and the smartphone 100, the measured values for the temperature and humidity of the bread being baked from the moisture measuring device are determined by the smartphone 100 Is transmitted to the side in real time, and the data transmitted to the smartphone 100 is displayed on the display screen of the smartphone 100 as the current temperature and the current humidity 122b along with the set temperature and humidity 122a for a specific bread. Will be displayed.

It goes without saying that the current temperature and current humidity information 122b may be displayed as a graph 122c to provide the corresponding information by configuring a UI so that the user can grasp it more easily.

When a certain amount of time elapses, when the moisture measurement value transmitted in real time from the moisture measurement device reaches the set humidity set in the program, the baking application automatically activates the push notification function. Recognizing that the bread has been baked in an optimal state, it is possible to take the bread out of the oven 50.

Accordingly, the finished bread can be baked in an optimal state through the humidity information transmitted in real time without being undercooked or burned, so that it can be completed.

As described above, the temperature and humidity information obtained in the process of baking bread while driving the baking application may be stored in the corresponding smartphone 100 or transmitted to the server 300 in a remote location to be shared by multiple users. Since it is possible to evaluate programs provided for various types of bread, it is possible to provide more reliable information to a number of specific users.
