- Be it summer or winter, there is nothing that warms your heart more than a freshly baked croissant. But achieving these flaky, crunchy layers just can't be done overnight; it takes days of preparation and butter - lots of butter. We visit Frédéric Roy in his bakery in Nice, on the French Riviera, where he shows us how true artisanal croissants are made.

How Authentic Croissants Are Made In France | Regional Eats | Food Insider
The way he enjoyed his croissant immediately, almost forgetting to offer Claudia any 😄👍
i was like ummmm
Unassuming
It looked strange, he didn't suggest her the first one 🙄
i am quite sure he was offended, his baking being compared to making pizza over and over again....
@@arjunrulesdruinedwor you might be right!
Yes, Claudia is a great host and interviewer but I think amazing how she's able to converse with everyone she speaks with. English, French, Italian and Spanish? That's pretty awesome
this right here!
Not to say she didn't work for it, obviously she devoted time to learn the grammar and practice her conversational skills, just that vocabulary isn't that much different between the three latin languages. But still, not everybody does it, so well done to her
Oh, it is not. I speak 2 + my mother lenguaje. Isn't really that hard, if you try, you will soon success.
I mean, I don't even need to, you know what I mean? And, someone with h this job, it's expected, I think.
Lies again? AMWF CAR French Food
The way he enjoys he’s own croissant is very inspiring.
Have you tried fresh croissant tho it's probably the most addictive substance in the world
@Repent!. deez nuts
@Repent!. okay but what's the point
@Get on the cross and don’t look back Conditional love FTW
I’ve read somewhere it’s french culture to really dive into the experience of eating your food
Not only is he a good artisan with great skill and years of experience, he also knows all about the fermentation science, history, and even bread laws. Such dedication, give the man his demands regarding pastry laws!!!
Fermentation and other chemical processes are part of the school program for cooking professional schools, even for those who leave school at 16 years old.
Gluten and yeast are the very basic of professional highschool classes.
YES!
yes i like ppl with passion in their work and have knowledge
Frederic is one serious bread-nerd; a true professional.
he will give you all the bread talk you need
Working at bakery is no joke, only people with true dedication can last for years or even decades.
As a fellow bread nerd, he is most definitely a professional and cares very much for his craft!
@@DrDingsGaster flour alchemist
Bakers in France are literally nerds.
"no, my eyes are the mold."
That skill in making croissant 🥐! Much respect!!! If I ever found my self in France, I'll buy a freshly baked croissant 🥐.
As he said, they're better when they're hot. I looove when, by chance, I bought croissants just freshly taken out the oven.
Croissants are absolutely one of my favorite pastries! The flakiness, the fluffiness, the softness...And who doesn't love butter???
Me too
Italians!
Delicious with some jam or dipped in chocolate milk.
If you have leftover croissants, you can split them horizontally, fill with some ham and cheese, and in the oven to heat back and melt the cheese.
Me too. Since young...❤
Hmmmm maybe when the moon turns into a cresent ill eat my croissants on that special time
I love the baker's French. I am still trying to learn French, and this baker was so clear and so proud of his work. It was great to practice listening to French, *and* to learn more about croissants, which I love.
Keep going boy, French is such a beautiful language !
It's french artisan not industrial mindset. Quality quality quality, "savoir faire"
Claudia is a great interviewer! She’s kind, asks the right questions, and is very respectful. Frederic is a great artist! He is also very kind, patient, and a great teacher! I hope he succeeds in lobbying the French government for more laws regarding pastry making! If only we had laws like those in the US.
❤️
Claudia sounded a bit nervous.
She’s an awesome multilingual!
We can if someone lobby's for it.
We couldn’t have laws like that in the US. In todays environment someone would be offended and outraged. I’m pointing fingers at both sides of the political divide.
@@diamondcomplex2376 I guess it is because French maybe not her strong language? She speaks multiple languages
What an absolutely amazing baker. So confident, friendly, and willing to teach. This guy must be the pride of Nice. Hope to catch some of his baked goods someday.
Just amazing. Children should idolize people like him: humble, professional and so useful for the community.
The fact is : he is just a normal baker in France.
@@tm.8399 No he is not, he is a good baker. And thankfully we have many of them. But there is a lot of "bakeries" who sell products they didn't make themselves or just don't have a good baker.
I'm so glad that Frédéric is trying to protect what a real croissant is and I hope he succeeds because in my country (part of EU), most bakeries are making croissants with margarine and/or palm oil!!! If he succeeds, those blasphemies wont be able to be called croissants any more
Which country would that be?
i mean there are also milk croissant which are... fine. they don't all have to be croissant au beurre, but yeah there is only one king :p
Croissant with margarine? Sacre bleu!
🤮🤮
j'mange mon pain avec de la margarine (j'ai ete elevee sur le tru, desolee) mais de la margarine ou meme de l'huile de chiotte dans mes croissants!?!?!?!
As an American who bakes and is trying to make croissants from scratch for the first time, I'd like to thank you for making this video. In my opinion, he's absolutely correct that pastry makers need protections for their work. The croissant especially is known worldwide as being an emblem and celebration of French food. I hope the government of France sees this message, because artisans like him absolutely deserve the highest recognition possible for their art and work.
Croissant are from Austria, not France
@@6Kubik the crescent shaped bread, yes. The laminated pastry and this technique, no.
They ARE artists!!
@@darkfireeyes7 EXACTEMENT 👍👏👋
@@6KubikFAUX éviter de mettre des commentaires.Merci d'avance
"my eyes are the mold" that's a pro right there.
You have to admire the love and energy he puts into his craft. There’s care, adoration, respect and a level of attentiveness that makes his croissants, what I see to be, an amazing end result. Bravo Monsieur. Never change. 🥐🥐
*Another excellent Claudia episode. Best host on this channel.* I’ve been to France and had many delicious croissants but not in Nice. These look fantastic indeed.
looks tasty great host
India 🌭🌮🌯🍅
Claudia is so much better than that British dude who's got the personality of a rock
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

"The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now"

@@foodzone5628 well i know indian bread is naan-violence but still french croissants wont make my day worst
This makes me so happy! I used to work at a bakery in the US when I was in high school and our bakers used to make croissants just the same way over a similar time frame. My store did freeze shaped croissants from time to time to make sure to always have a ready supply on hand. It was great to bring home the leftovers some nights! I still love the smell and taste of fresh French bread and pastries!
Hello Tessa
@@markaralvin5545 bro?
What an amazing art. Really he has put his heart and soul into it.
Isn’t that what anyone should do when baking or cooking?
@@harryhealey4298 If you are cooking for your family then yeah.
But he puts so much into his work which is for commercial sale. So yeah It is pretty impressive.
@@Bruh-tf6xp why just for your family, cooking should always have love put into it. Whether it’s for yourself, your family, friends or some random customers. Because you will taste the love and it’s delicious.
Been to France. Was looking for food to eat...bought a croissant & was blown away! Definitely different & not like anything I tasted in my home country. Ate this every day while I was in France & missing it now.
If you have the time, you can try to make your own croissants at home... I know it is pretty difficult, but the result definitively worth it !
Claudia is multilingual. 😲 stan that queen
It's her Italian-ness showing up. If it's a Romance language, she probably can do it...unless it's Portuguese. That language has some strange pronunciation, especially in Portugal. Love you, Claudia!
@@TheZenomeProject you're right, but french is most "develop" Roman language from Latin. For us is very close and easy Spanish, not French
So we Italians aren't €uropeans then? 'Cause I know many people who (barely) speak Italian only. I'd say Claudia is an exception...
Why do other people keep using black American slangs and you're not black. No it's not internet slang. It's AA slang but hey nobody does cool like AA so y'all can't help yourselves...
@@beyourself2444 gatekeeping culture is absurd and highly counterproductive. Following your logic, African Americans shouldn't own pizzerias? Ridiculous.
I love it after he baked his beloved croissants, he immediately ate one; Frédéric must of made thousands of croissants and he still love them.
Les boulangers sont des gens extrêment travaillant mais aussi d'une grande générosité. Ils savent que le fruit de leur travail va régaler le palais de centaines d'hommes, de femmes et d'enfants.
Ils se lèvent tôt pour nous permettre d'avoir autant de bonheur dans notre vie tôt le matin, avec un bon café !
Merci à tous les boulangers du monde, vous jouez un rôle essentiel dans la création de bonheur !
I love how busy they are with the sound of the door being consistently opened.
Best series. I truly enjoy these videos since it is so informative. Claudia is an outstanding host 10/10
Love how the dude is cool with being compared to another culture
Oh my god this sent me back to my trips to France 😭 they are so delicious and crispy. I could eat them every morning, with fresh local preserves it’s heaven
We visited the Boulangerie in Avignon Southern France and had the most amazing croissant out of the oven - they just dissolved in your mouth leaving this crisp butter sensation. Amazing technique. We didnt buy their submarines but we will be happy to buy their pastries.
It's inspiring to see someone care about, not just the profits and the quantity, but the quality of his product. He looks like a guy that will never cut corners.
I like how they keep talking about things with an artisan's mindset. I totally respect this kind of thinking.
I appreciate the artisan bakers who made them respect their croissant products 😋👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This might be ridiculous but I started to cry when they got eat that fresh croissant. Just something with so much passion, love, and butter creates a viscerally emotional response from me.
I am a fanatic for croissants. If you have ever tasted a perfect one, you cannot go back to the others.
"My eyes are the mold" spoken like a true artist 🎨
French bakers are pure love and Claudia is once again amazing
the skill is incredible! he is making identical croissants, rolling and shaping them while having a conversation and barely looking!
I absolutely love croissants. The French really know how to treat themselves. These croissants from Frédéric looks amazing.
The baked goods in France are no joke. No surprise they are so regimented given the quality of the goods they produce. Completely different level to what we’re used to in North America. How can we not replicate this?!
Claudia always makes sure to have a good conversation. She listen and even participates. 🙌❤️
This was a good episode. The baker’s passion is genuine and shines through.
I spend this past summer in Nice. The croissants baked at the real artisan boulangeries are wonderful! They taste even better than they look
How much did they cost?
@@angeladespin2281 Depending on the location and quality of the boulangerie/patisserie they were being sold for about 1.5-2 euros a piece. I lived in a low income area, in which the local patisserie sold it for 0.85 euros
Thank you!
@@angeladespin2281 Hi, it greatly depends on the cities but in most cities you can find a great croissant for around 1-1.5 euros. Also, if you go to a place where they look good, definitely try some éclairs or paris-brest.
That is by far the most beautiful looking croissant I’ve ever seen!
love the way the baker speaks french! It was clear and precise.
You will never eat a Croissant in your life that tastes the way that it does made in a French bakery, like this. I've loved Croissants my entire life, thinking that I was eating the bread of gods, but my first Croissant from a French bakery blew them all out of the water. The delicate, crispy flakiness of the outer layer, combined with the delicate flavor of quality butter, and the soft, melt in your mouth interior, will absolutely blow you away. Eat them plain. They deserve to be savored in their original state. I hope to revisit France again someday for the sole reason of eating more genuine French Croissants!!!
In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport. Every man has two countries: his own and France. Love from Korea 🇰🇷💕
relax, it's not only france. italy is the same, probably others too..
@@andreww4751 No.
Claudia has THE BEST job! Gets to meet the most interesting people, eat the best food, speak several languages....wow, she really has it made!
As a french, i’m so lucky. A croissant or pain au chocolat are a french tradition and in here They are our prime pastries. So delicious. The Best i had was in a parisian bistrot, they were filled with melted butter, hot from the oven at 6 in the morning 😋😋
Croissant are from Austria.
@@6Kubik the shape created in Austria but the butter croissant is a pure french classic. And the best known french pastrie, the butter croissant is typically parisian. It is famously know as a part of french cuisine, not austrian.
Like the ceasar salad, created in Mexico but clearly known as an italien classic dish.
It matters not what the product, a passionate artist is always recognisable
These are soooo good I swear! Had them when visiting my brother in Paris. Once he and his family visited me in Germany and the only thing I asked him to bring me was croissants from any French bakery. HE FORGOT!
Nooo! I hope you wrote him off your testament 😁
The problem is that, it's so good and any bakery in the country side will blow you away.
So you can get weight easely with that XDD
Also we pretty much always buy croissant and pain au chocolat together.
@@aidanclarke6106 Hahahaha! I did!!! 😜
@@wertyuiopasd6281 Never thought about it - the countryside 🤔. I've only visited Paris so far. I`m sure there's so much more than the metropolis. But first I have to lose weight, hahaha!
@@wertyuiopasd6281 You spelled chocolatine wrong but I forgive you.
Holding onto resentment
only deepens our sadness.
Showing compassion opens our hearts.
This guy is a true master 👏 Also so happy to see Claudia again, it’s been too long.
Wow... love croissants .. there are definitely varying tastes when you eat them from different bakeries. This video made it clear the different parameters need to lock together to make the traditional real tasty croissants.. not to mention different types of flours and butter that you cannot reproduce in different countries. Didn't know that it can take that long ... viva croissant ! Didn't know they originated in Austria.
Thanks for having actual captions for the Deaf, makes videos informative and clear
There is nothing more lovely and admiring of a profession where the person who is the key player of creating happiness, understands the intricacy of all the process of their product. This is a great reflection on the term artisian and I truly understand the perspective Frederic wanting to acquire the law for future artisians. There is clearly a stark contrast, however, that is subjective in the court of law.
I love how Claudia makes an effort to speak correctly
I live in rural south of France. I drive past two boulangeries to get to the one with the 'right' croissants. Life in France!
God bless the French. I could eat my weight in croissants and baguettes! So impressed that Claudia is as adept at speaking French as Italian!
God bless the Austrians you mean? Croissant are from Austria
@@6Kubik The shape come from Austria, the taste and making of come from France
@@6Kubik Lol shame on you to repeat your idiocies in multiple comments and yet always get corrected by facts.
When I lived in France I had chocolate croissants and tea every morning. I loved it. They are so good.
I can almost smell those croissants coming out from the oven -- BEST SMELL IN THE WORLD.
Wow, he bakes croissant for the Negresco, that is such a high honor! His croissants much be so delicious... Amazing video!
Does he make it, sell it and deliver it by himself? I love this man
RMDC:. I'm sure that most customers come to him.
HIs French is like his baking, very precise. Beautiful.
She's always amazing narrator
I can smell them wafting down the Promenade just from watching this.. His shop makes the BEST Patries. I want to go back.
Ah, may favorite French delight! ❤
Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines!
only looking at those makes me happy.. The amount of time nd hardwork it takes to make it perfect, this really is a art
Butter croissant, one of my favorite food to eat 😋😋. I loved the texture and the layers of the croissant in this video.
This was SO enjoyable to watch!!! I've wanted to go to France my entire life. My parents have been twice and they did confirm that the bakery croissants were out of this world!!
wow amazing! The skill and experience necessary to make this pastry is impressive.
the perfect bread to go with eggs and bacon
Man, the genuine croissant looks really good and probably taste the best.
Now this man is a true professional, enthusiastic, efficient, skilled, and will never do anything else. BRAVO!
As an Austrian I need to say: They may be from Austria, but they taste much better in France. That's a fact. I love the consistency when you take a bite. Ours are harder which is good but not the same. But whenever you visit Vienna you should try "Schinken-Ei"-Croissant from the bakery chain "Anker".
This is börek/pogaca/baklava dough. It got first famous in Vienna after the war with Turks about 400-500 years ago. An Austrian baker moved to Paris and baked it in his bakery. So, it is became famous in whole France.
@D Anemon I am from German speaking part of Switzerland. We watch and read here Swiss, German, Austrian media/sources. This is the story of Gipfeli/Kipferl/Croissant told us. The war in Viennna was in 17. century. Did French cuisine have puff pastry BEFORE 17. century?! Also coffee is from this war. First coffeehouses/shops of Western Europe got opened in Vienna and spread to whole Europe from Austria. The dough of Apfelstrudel (apple roulade) is also a kind puff pastry. Puff pastry is originally from Central Asia. Turkish simit (sesame-bagel) is originally Austrian bagel/Bretzel.
@@meralozdemir551 Just search it through wikipedia (in English or in French), it wasn't really the same croissant. The croissant you eat today was created in the early 20th century in Paris. It evoved during the 19th century from that popular crescent-shaped pastry that Austrian officer imported from Austria. A lot of imitators used the same shape in Paris afterward, and little by little it became the croissant you know, but the final "form" is only attested at the beginning of the 20th century.
Also, puff pastry isn't just one single monolitic thing, there are different kinds of puff pastry. Nobody knows the exact origin of filo /phyllo (different cultures claim it, such as the Greeks and the Turks), but it sure isn't the same as what's used in croissant anyway (that type of dough was first documented in 17th century-France) and in general it's different from modern puff pastry.
I really need to go in Vienna for taste a good Austria croissant ? because i'm a French Alsacien, and Austria is not so far from me, but Vienna is much far away.
@D Anemon Hahahaha, c'est ce que j'ai cru comprendre en lisant ton commentaire, donc je garde cela en tête, et à vrai dire cette histoire de croissant c'est surtout une "excuse" pour aller visiter l'Autriche, depuis le temps que j'en ai envie :p
my wife and myself have croissants every Sunday for breakfast with soft cheese and fruit juice TASTY ...LOVE how this guy just sooooo cool
Bruh, she had to ask him to have some of the croissant he was eating. He had no plans to offer her one of her own 😂
Also she asked for the other half but he only gave her a tiny piece 🙂
yea it's like wtf.. cheapskate much?
A French man will always tease a pretty girl. He probably gave her a sack of them to take home.
LOL she was eating one of her own at the beginning of the video! Then mooched some more at the end.
I love the way this man's eyes glow with pride showing his way of life and passion in each of his masterpiece. He's so proud of it even forgetting to offer her some :D
I want to go back to France now and have croissants everyday again.
Des bisous de Toulouse - France, ca fait plaisir d'entendre parler de nos merveilleux artisans et de leurs creations incroyables
He loves his job...and does an excellent job. Thank you for sharing your really good show with me:-D
I’m Asian American and I’m addicted to croissants!!!!
I will never look at a croissant the same after watching this video.
One of the few things I miss about living in Paris, fresh croissants each morning from the bakery. SOOOOO NICE :D
He is an artist!
He definitely should be president of the french croissant baker society. How articulate and profound his understanding.
If I were rich, I would spend my life taking class after class in anything and everything, and I would travel around the world, learning languages, folklore, and eating myself into oblivion. (Sadly I can't eat solid food due to poor health, serious ulcers, and Gastroparesis, so I eat soup, mashed potatoes, and watermelon popsicles. Sometimes a little bread.) I was raised in Utah, land of the chain restaurant, but my family immigrated to UT and my dad is from NY, so after college, I moved to the East Coast.
Sadly, the closest I've ever come to a REAL croissant was when I lived in Boston. Oh the bakeries and restaurants! Of course, Boston, esp the North end is all about Italian food and pastries. I still remember my first cannoli from Mike's Pastry in the North End. We were walking and eating the pastry we bought at Mike's. My friends had gone a full block before noticing I wasn't with them. I was holding myself up by leaning on a wall, eating my Cannoli, eyes rolled back in my head, floating above the sidewalk in sheer nirvana. To walk while eating it seemed wrong.
I had an Au Bon Pain across the street from my job. It was in the Prudential Center in Copley Square. I'd get off the Orange Line, in the morning, stop in for a spinach, or ham & cheese Croissant, and have a yummy breakfast. When I don't feel well, a warm, buttery croissant is wonderful. For a sweet tooth, I used to have an almond croissant.
I could live off French breads and pastries, and be a fat and happy woman. If I had a working digestive tract, at least. But a girl can dream. I would love to visit the place my mother, and her mother, and my great great grand mother were born and raised, and I'd love to visit every where else on the planet too. Maybe I can just get a REAL croissant, from a master like this gentleman. That would make me happy.
You've inspired me, Esme! I love a good croissant and - wearing a mask to venture out - I will be making a short road-trip to a town that has a real French bakery. I will eat a REAL croissant for you. I eat as much local/organic as possible, love to cook and am blessed with good digestion. So long as I don't partake in much dairy ( butter seems OK in moderation) or hot-pepper spiciness, my gut has happy microbiome. And there is an endless variety of Soup - I live on that in the wintertime. Take care, be well, dear Lady
Larp
I’ll never forget my first croissant over 50 years ago in Niece. A nice cup of cafe au lait and it was heaven for a 12 yo city boy from Detroit.
I just tried a croissant made by a French baker who moved here to the US, and oh my goodness! It was truly outstanding.
They're so good in patiserries around france that it can bring tears to your eyes. No joke.
I once got scared when I tried to make these. SO MUCH BUTTER!!!
this was very nice of master baker chef roy to show us. i mean it is not a military secret how to make croissants, its known of course, but for him to share with us his method, his thoughts, his enthusiasm and the history was very special. merci beaucoup chef roy!
To all English speaker: don't pronounce the "T" at the end of croissant
like you don't pronounce the "C" at the end of "Sauvignon Blanc"
or pronounce the "T" at the end of Bon Appetit
"Because we have the time to make things really as they should be made." This philosophy is amazing i think i'll use it
C'est magnifique!
A tip, if your croissant is just warm from the oven, just put a little bit of an excellent butter in it... it melt it is just fabulous.
Thank you for your blog. Watching from the Philippines. We have some croissant in the Philippines. But being well travelled I know that our croissant is just half as good. Thank you madam.
There is nothing more French than this video 🥐
Love French Croissants. Thanks for sharing
I wanted to make home made croissants but after finding out how long it takes, I can’t be bothered. Kudos to these bakers.
I tried to make them several times years ago. The time factor is nothing - most of it is just letting them rise while you do something else. The HARD part is getting the dough to laminate, instead of having the butter and dough just mix together messily. I never did get that part, and had many croissant-shaped hockey pucks to show for it.
Claudia knows so many languages!! Amazing video.
I know that she can at least speak two Romance languages (French & Italian) and English. She might know Spanish because it's already somewhat intelligible with Italian. Not sure about anything else.
I’m French I eat croissants every week and I’m still fascinating by the process !
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic again and as always when this gorgeous woman is the host respectively the interviewer.
Best regards luck and health to all involved people.
Une telle beauté, la France ne peut pas vivre sans
