After learning in a professional baking studio with proper equipment, coming back to a home setup was definitely a challenge. The automatic sheeter in class makes lamination so smooth and consistent, while using a manual sheeter at home is a whole different experience. It helps a lot, but it also takes more control, patience, and honestly… a bit of arm workout too 😂
And yes… rookie mistake of the day: I accidentally used only 8g of dry yeast instead of the amount needed, which resulted in these croissants taking nearly 8 hours to proof 🫠 Brisbane weather getting cooler definitely didn’t help either.
Still, despite all the imperfections and things I want to improve on, I’m proud that I made it work. Every batch teaches me something new - dough handling, fermentation, timing, temperature, oven setting, patience… croissants really humble you fast.
Far from perfect, but one step closer to better layers every bake ✨🥐
Thin delicate webs, translucent walls, and just enough openness without losing softness. This is the result of long fermentation, proper steam, gentle handling, and a lot of repetition over the years 🤍
