Croissants

Croissants

Croissants are not difficult to make, just really time consuming. These are a form of laminating pastry but because of the yeast added, the time taken is lengthened. The more the yeast is allowed to ferment between folds, the better these taste.

As usual, I do try to optimize everything, so the first rise is overnight in the refrigerator for me. The second rise is often about an hour and so is the last. To me, the croissant, like the Danish, is a combination of the puff pastry and the bread.

I shape them simply most of the time, fashioned as a croissant or rolled up as Pain au chocolat. When you bake croissants, the house smells really wonderful, the aroma of bread combined with rich butter is simply irresistable.
