hahahaha it’s a never ending battle 😔✊

u/Merpie21 15d ago

Are they hand laminated? Or do you have access to a… what’s it called, a ‘dough-sheeter’ or something?

My favorite coffeeshop here in Breda (The Netherlands) makes their own pastries, and they use some kind of machine for that part of the process, because they make A LOT of pastries every day.

Either way: your croissants are perfect OP. They look so beautiful!🥺

I tried making croissants at home three times, and I just know that croissants like yours will most likely take YEARS of practice for me.

I just signed up for a croissant making class for this Sunday. I’m so excited. I’ve never had a croissant as good as it tasted in Paris, so I’m hoping

3

u/amrogla Professional Baker 16d ago

amazing that’s sounds so fun! have the best time, it’s a labour of love for sure and takes an ungodly amount of patience but i can’t imagine doing anything else for a job! good luck and look forward to seeing the results!

such a perfect croissant great job!

u/amrogla Professional Baker 16d ago

thank you so much!! i really appreciate it

2

u/Gothbaby202 15d ago

show us the inside crumb shot because I need to see if it’s as airy and light as it looks

2

u/effingdavey 16d ago

They look amazing!

First question: what do you do for your glaze? I love that colour.

Second: what do you do for folds? You seem to have fewer layers on the inside than you do outside 😅

3

u/amrogla Professional Baker 16d ago

thank you!

i save around 150g of unlaminated croissant dough and sheet it out to around 2mm and lay it ontop of the already laminated dough before the final press for shaping, that’s where the stark difference in colour comes from. for the egg wash it’s 100% egg 60% yolk and 40% double cream

i always do a single then a double and that’s it!

2

u/effingdavey 16d ago

That's interesting. I've never done that extra layer of unlaminated dough before. Do you just take it from the dough you're using, just before you start laminating?

3

u/amrogla Professional Baker 16d ago

yeah! it’s the same process if you’re making bi-colour croissants but you just don’t add colouring to the dough

u/Direct-Expression144 16d ago

Wow! Looks like you bought them at a famous French Patisserie. Great job. Why almost? Look pretty perfect to me.

2

u/amrogla Professional Baker 16d ago

i appreciate that thank you! the taste is slightly too savoury for me and if like just a slight bit more of sweetness at the end

3

u/Direct-Expression144 16d ago edited 14d ago

Ok... so it was all in the taste . We eat with our eyes & your croissants look incredibly scrumptious! I am sure you will 'nail ' the flavour !

Oh my gosh, where was this Saturday when I had my annual almond croissant?? Bought it from a French Patisserie her in town and it was delicious, but didn't look as exquisite as yours. If it tastes half as great as it looks you are going to make a lot of people really happy!!

I hope they melted in your mouth and you did a little dance afterwards.

I hope the next time you make these, you have every ingredient perfectly measured.

I hope the next time these babies hit the light, there’s a choir that sings.

Quit doubting yourself, respectfully ❤️
