The Croissant Lab

+++ 6/20/2026 1.) added a help file 2.) Added baking temperature converter 3.) added a crumb explorer utility. This allows you to achieve a more open or closed crumb by altering triangle geometry, sheeting thickness and/or layer count. 4.) Added categorization to the recipes to make sorting and finding easier

Major upgrade to the user interface to make navigation more intuitive and less cumbersome

++++ 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

++++ 3/14/2026 1.) Added several pre-ferment options to the mother ingredients, with auto calculation of the remaining ingredients +++ 3/23/2026 1.) completely revamped the Desired dough temp calculations to more correctly calculate both the friction factor and the required water temperature to reach the desired dough temp, as well as indicate exactly how much ice may be needed ++++3/31/2026 1.) Added a utility to evaluate proofing effectiveness and oven spring ++++ 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.

APP NAME CHANGE - to better reflect its functionality +++ 2/18/2025 1.) Added nutrional labels that can be exported or printed, including allergen info 2.) Added a correction slider for the final dough sheet size. Once set, it should not need to be re-done for the same recipe. 3. Corrected dough slab dimension calculation +++ 2/26/2025 1.) fixed a bug in the 90% proof alert 2.) added the option of calculations to be by target or calculated piece weight ++++ 2/28/2028 Q.) Added a major new component - let the app analyze your recipe and plan based on the type of crumb interior you are trying to achieve. Uses local logic, as well as optional AI input. Gives suggestions on how to tweak your recipe and process. Found on the utilities menu ++++ 3/2/2026 1.) Added another major new component - a full process planner. This allows the user to set and/or calculate the times needed for each step, and have the app layout the plan, create and trigger notifications for the user to act even if the app is closed ++++ 3/4/2026 1.) totally revamped the export PDF and Print functions. User can select what they want to see and get a more meaningful output. Good for record keeping as well ass passing to the baker actually working int he kitchen etc. +++ 3/6/2026 1.) Added a small yeast conversion utility to the Mother Ingredients

++++ 1/19/2026 1.) Moved dough temperature helpers to Utilities menu 2.). Added the ability in the AI Crumb Analyzer to use the default prompt or any query the user wants 3.) Minor UI improvements 4.) Added a “rounding” option to the display of the ingredients - user may choose Exact values, or round them off to the nearest 1g, 5g or 10g. 5.) Added a Fermentation utility - using your recipe, see the effect on bulk proofing, final proofing, dough handling and dough browning by interactively altering yeast, salt and sugar.

+++++ 1/10/26 1.) Extended home proof time to 18 hrs 2.) Added ability to import/export recipes by QR code. Scanning between devices is the quickest way to transfer recipes - eg. Phone to iPad etc. 3.) Added a small protein conversion utility to the ingredient section 4.) Added checkboxes to the recipe results to make in use tracking of what you’ve added to the bowl easier ++++ 1/19/2026 1.) Moved dough temperature helpers to Utilities menu
