The Croissant Lab

Croissant & Pastry Calculator

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

The only full fledged app for creating laminated pastries A fully fledged calculator and recipe manager for making laminated doughs and laminated products - specifically croissants, pain au chocolate etc. Store and use multiple recipes - the app will use Baker's Math to calculate your ingredients based on flour weight, or lamination butter weight, or the number of pieces that need to be made. The number of layers, folding sequence, croissant dimensions, nutritional information are all calculated and allow for multiple variations to compare outcomes. Proofing guidance for temperature and elevation are calculated and displayed. Desired Dough Temperature (DDT) and mixer Friction Factor are calculated. An optional AI powered crumb analyzer is included. A new cost calculator is a game changer, as is a full process planner, and a recipe analyzer.

++++ 4/23/2026 1.) Added a recipe generator - based on criteria the user selects in what they want the final product to look, feel and taste like, the app will generate a recipe to achieve this. EXPERIMENTAL. +++ 5/11/2026 1.) added a cut optimizer when making triangles and rectangles from one slab of sheeted dough. It only appears if using the “# of pieces” input. 2.) improved the compare recipe function 3.) complete re-write of all the pre-ferment / addition options 4.) added Tangzhog and Yudane method calculations
