    Day 3, hour 72 of croissant making. Time seems to have lost all meaning. When I close my eyes all I see is dough, butter, dough, butter. My inner monologue has taken on the voice of Joshua Weissman. I've watched this video hundreds of times. I feel as though I am becoming the video itself...

      @@samanthaweiss867 I am on day 3 of making them, tryna make them for my mom just in time of Mother’s Day. I’ll tell you how it goes. I put the dough in the fridge after each fold instead of an hour and now the dough is gigantic. Like HUgE. Also the butter is kinda not evenly spread so that’s fault 🤦‍♀️ however the dough does look pretty good so far. All I have to do now is wait till tmr and cut into shapes to bake.

  • @LolitasRequiem
    @LolitasRequiem 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4025

    Since I made these notes for myself, might as well share them here too:
    Mix 130g water and 6g yeast. Sit for 10 minutes.
    Whisk 250g bread flour, 30g sugar, 5g fine sea salt until incorporated.
    Mix bloomed yeast mix, 1 egg yolk, 25g gently melted butter until begins to form a dough. Use hands when necessary.
    Lightly knead dough. Pick up, slap it against table, and fold it over itself until smooth. Should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
    Shape into a ball and put back into the bowl covered with plastic wrap. Rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
    Grab edge of dough and gently pull on it, stretch it and fold it on itself. Repeat for the entire perimeter of the dough. Place seam-side down in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and rest for 10 minutes in refrigerator. Repeat one more time. Rest in refrigerator for 25 minutes.
    Place dough on wax paper. Shape the dough 7x7 inches. Wrap in the wax paper and roll evenly. Don’t press too hard. Place in refrigerator for 12 hours.
    Cut pieces of butter evenly into slices to form 4x4 inch square. Fold into wax paper and use rolling pin to form it into a 4x4 block of butter. Chill in refrigerator for 15-25 minutes.
    Lightly flour surface. Flatten and elongate the edges of the dough. Lightly flatten the middle to avoid bumpiness. Place butter in the center of the dough, diagonally so edges are facing the opposite direction of the edges of the dough. Stretch and fold each edge over the butter to encase it like an envelope. Make sure no butter is poking out. Sit for 1-2 minutes. Butter shouldn’t be too hard when rolling.
    Lightly flour rolling pin. Lightly press down on dough multiple times along the entire length of the dough. Roll with even pressure and roll dough into a long rectangle, roughly 18 inches in length. Do not rock back and forth with rolling pin. Go in one direction with each roll with even pressure. Grab bottom of dough closest to you. Fold ¾ of the way up the rectangle and take top half and fold the rest of the quarter of the way until both ends meet evenly. Lightly pat down so they stick. Then fold so the longer part folds over the shorter part, making an envelope shape. Lightly tap down with rolling pin so that all the layers are stuck together. Do not press it. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
    Unwrap dough. Roll on work surface in the long direction of the dough, should form as long skinny rectangle. Same as before, softly tap surface of dough and roll with even pressure. Keep as a long rectangle shape, 18 inches in length. Fold letter style. Grab top part and fold 1/3 of the way down and then fold the bottom so it overlaps evenly on the other side. Should end up like a perfect square. Layers should be even. Wrap and rest in refrigerator for up to 1 hour or 12 hours. Recommended 3 days to allow the dough to rest so that the butter stays cold and gluten has enough time to rest. If the gluten is tough, then it will resist rolling and the butter layers will be pressed out.
    Roll into a wider and thicker rectangle, about 10 inches wide and ¼ inch thick. Make marks along the bottom of the dough at 4 ½ inch intervals. Then from there, look at the marks at the bottom and mark the top by following in between two marks on the bottom of the dough and mark the middle part on the top portion of the dough. Take a sharp long knife and make cuts following each point together, basically into long triangles. Should end up with about 5-6 croissants. (If you want to double the amount, make another separate dough and do not combine the mixture.)
    Gently elongate each triangle dough and tightly roll up. Squeeze the tip down so it sticks. Place on rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the tails are placed down just enough so the croissant is holding them down with its own weight to prevent unraveling. Brush with egg wash (whisk 1 whole egg).
    Cover with another rimmed baking sheet that prevents draft or put in a cold oven with door closed. Proof at 78°F for 2 hours. Do not exceed 80°F or butter will melt. Proofed croissants should look puffy and almost doubled in size. The layers should start splitting a little bit and they can jiggle back and forth if you lightly shake the pan. Gently brush with egg wash again.
    Convection Oven: 390°F for 6 minutes then 330°F for 10-15 more minutes
    Typical Oven: 400°F for 15-20 minutes

    - Slap and fold repeatedly for a minute or so until a smooth surface forms. Rest for 10 minutes.
    - Stretch and fold. Rest for 10 minutes. Stretch and fold. Rest for 25 minutes.
    - Move dough to a sheet of wax paper and roll into a 7” x 7” block.
    - Rest dough for 12 hours.
    Day 2:
    - Make a 4” x 4” Beurrage, refrigerate 30 minutes
    - Roll out the dough and wrap the butter in it snuggly.
    - Flip the encased dough over and press into a flatter shape.
    - Roll the dough into an 18” rectangle.
    - Perform the first (envelope) fold. Tap down with rolling pin, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for one hour.
    - Roll it out longways to 18” long and fold again (letter style)
    - Wrap in plastic, refrigerate overnight.
    Day 3:
    - Roll dough out to a 10” wide rectangle of ¾ “ thick. Rest the dough for 30 minutes if it resists you.
    - Cut dough into 4” based isosceles triangles. Elongate slightly and roll into croissant shape.
    - Brush with egg wash and proof 2 hours. Brush again with Egg wash and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes

    I've made croissants 16 times using various recipes. It took only two tries with this recipe to get good ones (although I still havent perfected them)! For anyone trying this, wrap your dough in plastic wrap so it doesnt dry out, or else the butter will break through the dry, crackly dough, even if the butter is semi-malleable.

    Just a side note: I am making this from polish butter which I think can be classified as european butter (82% fat). Even though butter fat percentage might be a good indicator of butter that spreads well, be aware that not all butters are equal when it comes to spreading. If You notice Your butter cracks instead of spreading equally under the dough, give it additional 5 minutes of rest after pulling out of the refrigerator, and It should spread fine. I believe it also depends on the temperature inside your refrigerator.
    You will certainly be able to see where the butter is under the dough - where it is the dough will be lighter in colour, so If you see any "cracks" of color its better to just let it rest for a couple of minutes.
    If You already did the rolling and noticed cracks afterwards, just do another fold, It won't hurt much but will help distribute the butter more evenly. Remember, It's better to fold once more instead of ending up with a cracked butter surface resulting in an unevenly baked crossaint.

      Sadly, most croissants are made in factories nowadays to make them cheaper (but they don't taste nearly as good). Especially because they also cheap out on butter.
      Most people just buy whatever is cheapest, so quality products disappear from the stores.
      That's why we have all the crap in supermarkets.

    I have watched and studied several video recipes on youtube before deciding to follow your recipe in making croissants for the first time. I had tears as I sank my teeth into the flaky, crispy croissants with the moist interiors and the utterly buttery aromas of it. Thank you SO MUCH for this fantastic fool proof recipe (I weighed out all my ingredients on a digital scale and stuck to the dimensions for rolling out the dough as well, except for the final dimension of the dough before cutting into triangles). I will not try any other recipes, as I am fully satisfied with my results (I live in France and have tried many croissants from different bakeries, and I have to admit this recipe is as good as it gets for home made croissants). Have you tried to make these croissants with almond fillings? Or what about the ones with chocolate (ie pain au chocolat)? Merci beaucoup!! :-)

      For croissants aux amandes, you are supposed to use croissants from the day before or even two days before. Then you make an almond cream with almond powder, sugar and butter and maybe eggs. Once that is made, you cut your croissant in half on the long side, fill it with the almond cream and bake it for about 10 to 15 mins. That is not the exact recipe but what I remember doing.

      I've been baking for some years now and here are couple of reasons I've learned why grams are used:
      1. If you take a cup of flour and lightly hit it against a counter, you'll end up with 3/4 cups of flour. Was it then a cup in the first place, or do you need to add more? Whereas 120g of flour will always be 120g no matter if it's packed or not.
      2. If you decide to half the recipe, it's difficult to half 3/4 cups of anything.

    Recipe Note: Right after you roll the dough into the croissant shape, you now can freeze them. You then can remove them from the freezer and place them on the sheet for final proof and baking. Enjoy. * Make multiple batches and freeze them and have less labor*

    So I used this video to make croissants and thought these few additional tips may come in handy
    1. If you're using all purpose flour instead of bread dough, the dough may turn out quite sticky so don't hesitate to add flour. It rescued my dish
    2. Parchment paper or cling wrap can be an alternate for the wax paper
    3. The butter may ooze while rolling the dough but there's no harm caused so don't worry
    4. I would suggest folding the dough four times instead of two to get a more flaky texture
    I made mine and it turned out wonderfully. Bon appetite :)

    One of the beautiful things about cooking is learning from trial and error. This is about the 3rd time I followed this recipe and I was so close to perfection this time, lamination was on point but the taste was completely different. The reason why? Time. Do not even try to rush this recipe, the difference in flavor is blowing my mind. Appreciate the hard work that these croissants need even if it takes days to complete them

      Nah. Croissants lose their awesomeness by a huge chunk even 12 hours later. By day 2, the only thing you can do with them is turn them into almond croissants or something, because plain they are way worse. It's insane how much the quality dips in a short amount of time. I made some myself and they were done in the early afternoon. I went for another one after dinner that same night and I could already taste the inferiority. The real solution is to just eat all 6 within the first 3 hours. I'm only partly joking. I would share them with someone else and eat them all pretty much right away.

    Honestly, I've been making croissants fro 20 years and some of the tips here blew my mind lol. I have to admit, the way I've been making my butter brick since the 90's is kind of the same - I rolld it into a sandwhich bag, and then I roll my dough to fit that lol. Gonna experiment with your recipe, thanks!
    Tip: IF you live somewhere metric, butter probably comes in 250g bricks, so just multiply the recipe by 1.5 and use an XL egg to get the most out of your butter lol! Outside france, french butter can be really expensive, a good easy to find substitute is Lurpak. It's danish (danish pastry is very similar to croissants), but is the best mass-market substitute I've found. NB: if you increase the amount of ingredients by 1.5, your new squares are 8.5 inches for the dough and 4 7/8 inches for the butter, so it's not too thick.

      @@jesswinter I haven't noticed any issues personally, though I don't doubt that it could be an issue. Personally I find it better than President, which is the only french butter I can usually find without going down to the market, but it's definitely not as good as a more expensive french butter. It's quite a subtle flavour butter, so whilst I find it makes very good croissants, you do get slightly more delicious croissants from a quality french butter, though the price difference can be huge. I pay the equivalent of about $3 in USD for 250g of lurpak, the nice butter I can get at the market from Brittany comes in at almost $12 where I live, and whilst it does make sublime croissants, generally if I buy it I prefer to bake some baguettes and serve it with them. Of course though, it depends a lot on what you can find locally, and the pricing. It's also worth making croissants a few times before buying an expensive butter as certainly to begin with your lamination technique will make all the difference.

      ​@@JoshuaWeissman No worries - thank you! I made these this weekend past (I made 2 batches of 1.5x the recipe) which, rolled out to about 8.5" wide and just under 1/4" thick made for 2 dozen, and they were a hit! I was actually looking for a no-knead recipe just because saturday mornings are more busy now, so quickly making the dough and resting it through until evening just fit me so much better. This dough came together very easily and the simple stretch and fold steps meant it was easy to make around having breakfast lol.
      Your oven times were also spot on btw. I almost doubted as they were slightly shorter by a couple minutes on the higher heat than I've usually done, but I put my faith in and, yup 6 mins 200C, 13 mins 165C and they were crispy, golden and shiney. Thanks again!

That's why we don't want american products in Europe, cheap can be handy but if the quality isn't there it's not worth. That's also the origin of the so called european protectionnism, we don't want our products drown in an avalanche of cheap, low quality food. I simplify, but that's the spirit.
