Matching is based on each recipe's main ingredients. Pantry staples (salt, pepper, oil, water and ice) are always assumed available, and amounts aren't considered. Always check the full recipe before you shop or cook.

Here's how it works: tick your ingredients above and we compare them against the main ingredients in each of our 20 recipes, then rank them by how many you already have. The ones you can bake right away rise to the top; when you're a single item short, you'll see exactly which one – so a quick shop turns a 'maybe' into tonight's bake.

Short on ingredients? These are among the easiest to start with: Rustic No-Knead Bread (flour and yeast), Simple Pizza Dough (flour and yeast) and Soft & Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls (dough, filling and glaze). Everyday staples such as salt, oil, water and ice are always assumed on hand, so they never count against you.

A few tips: add what you have generously – if you've got a close substitute (say a different flour or citrus), tick it and check the recipe for swaps. Amounts aren't part of the match, so always open the full recipe to confirm quantities and method before you bake.

How does the recipe matcher work?

Tick what you have at home. We compare it against the main ingredients in each of our 20 recipes and rank them by how many you already have – the ones you can bake now come first.

Do salt, oil and water count?

Yes. Everyday pantry staples (salt, pepper, oil, water and ice) are assumed available, so they never count as something you're missing.

Does it account for amounts?

No – the matcher only looks at which ingredients a recipe needs, not how much. Always open the full recipe to check quantities before you start.

Which recipes are easiest to start with?

With just a handful of basics you're close to Rustic No-Knead Bread (flour and yeast), Simple Pizza Dough (flour and yeast) and Soft & Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls (dough, filling and glaze). Tick a few ingredients above and the shortest shopping lists float to the top.
