[@dinane]

I made these this week and am so happy with the recipe. Thank you! I struggled a little bit with the strength of the gluten at the end, and will probably underknead it a little tiny bit next time to hopefully make it easier to roll out at the end. But overall I am super happy with my first time ever making croissants. Your recipe was easy to follow and accurate. Thank you!

[@AKneadtoBake]

Be careful if you “underlnead” it, the dough has to have enough strength or it could tear and let the butter leak. I know the dough gets very hard at the end but just stay with it, keep it cold and use force to knead it. Great job!

[@dinane]

Thank you for the reply and the tip! I’ll be patient!

[@NicolasEjzenberg]

@@dinane If the dough looks to strong just let it rest for a moment in the fridge. Each time gluten works you need to let it rest for a moment to weaken or it will be too elastic.

I’ve never had the courage or determination to try croissants. Your clear instructions have helped to alleviate some of the fear and given me just the right amount of inspiration to give them a try. I guess I’ll have to track down some of that fancy European butter 💰💰💰

[@AKneadtoBake]

Give it a try, my best advice is to be patient with your dough and always keep it cold as you are rolling it

[@philipfoo9848]

It is a quite challenge to do this in the tropical country where the temperature is about 30C. Any suggestions on how I should control the temperature to follow yr recipe and processes?

[@AKneadtoBake]

Yes it is a challenge but not impossible, just watch the dough and place it in the freezer for 15 min if it gets warm to soon, also try to put your rolling pin in the freezer as you place the dough in the freezer try to get as many of your tools cold even if you can cool a cutting board or pastry mat to help your dough stay cold

Amazing recipe,realy delicious!The croissants turned out really nicely! I used 2 types of Italian flour: 150 gr Manitoba Ora, 250 gr 00 type. I got a smooth , easy to shape dough. There`s one question I`d like to ask: can I use this same dough for the pain au chocolat, and if we can use high-cocoa chocolate bars for the filling?Best, Ani

[@AKneadtoBake]

Yes of course Ani! I’ve made some pain au chocolat before with this dough. I always use high cocoa (dark chocolate) since it is my favorite! Enjoy!

I have so much trouble with butter leakage when I'm rolling my dough. Do you have any tips? Despite the issue, I've made these 3 times and they still taste great! Thank you! 😊

[@AKneadtoBake]

The Butter has to be cold but pliable, if it starts leaking put it back in the freezer until it comes to a good temperature and continue rolling

[@salarycat]

Hi there, I tried this recipe over the weekend. I got actual croissants out of it which felt amazing. I did have a few issues, if you have time to respond. 1. I had trouble with the fermentation. My dough was growing super slow so I had it almost 1,5 days instead of 4 hours. I had it at 26-27 celsius during the day, and in the fridge during the night. Then after shaping the croissants they didn't grow at all, and I baked them after a night and a day of waiting. They came out a bit sour, maybe due to the long fermentation time, but they are still good. 2. The other problem is the bottom half is a bit soggy instead of fluffy. Maybe the butter accumulated in the bottom? I wonder how I should avoid this issue the next time I try this recipe.

[@AKneadtoBake]

You have to make sure your sourdough starter is very active, feed it every 4 hours at least 3 times before using it and it will get more active and stronger

[@AKneadtoBake]

For the second problem when you fix the other problem it should improve the whole croissant

[@caelesarcanum_]

May be a silly question. What if I already have an active sourdough starter. How much should I use of it?

[@rodrigomagan]

Hello, can croissants be stored in the refrigerator and cooked the next day?

[@AKneadtoBake]

No I wouldn’t recommend it

[@elizabethgalindo8396]

My dough is not rising much. It’s around 65 degrees in the house so I thought that was the reason so I left it overnight to rise but it still didn’t :( my levain rises good when I feed it so I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong

[@AKneadtoBake]

It needs a warmer temp to proof

[@LizaShaw-x2b]

Is the sugar for flavor or is it more for helping the dough rise. We use allulose instead of table sugar and I'm wondering if I can use it instead.

[@AKneadtoBake]

It is for flavor, you can use allulose instead

[@maggiehaight4510]

Did you feed your starter before making the stiff starter?

[@AKneadtoBake]

No it is not necessary

[@giovanamelo2527]

how long can I leave the croissants fermenting? Also, is there anyway I can speed up any of the processes in order to gain an extra hour (or even half hour)? I’m planning on giving them as a gift and one extra hour would be so great. It’s currently 36°C at room temperature, if it helps.

[@AKneadtoBake]

The fermentation times depend a lot of the temperature at which you are fermenting your bread, the strength of your sourdough starter, size of your croissants etc. since this is a layered dough with a lot of butter, you need to proof these at around 22 C or you can go max to 25… if you proof them at 36 degrees you run the risk on your butter to melt and spoil your croissants. Saying that if you proof them at around 22C you can proof them 12-16 hours easy

In the recipe, the starter is listed as 30%. I calculated 40%, when 160 grams stiff starter is calculated against 400 grams for both flours. I am learning and trying to use such percentages to create my own recipes. Can you tell me how you arrived at 30%? Thank you.

Hello, i was trying this recipe but I ran out of time for proofing after making the dough, so I put it in the fridge to proof overnight (i usually did this with loaves and they turn out fine). However, the next morning it's not rising, not even a bit. Should I just proof them in the oven with lights on now, or am i completely ruined?

[@AKneadtoBake]

Just leave them outside, be careful to put them in the oven with the light on because that is gonna create a higher temperature to proof these and the butter can melt. Proof then until you think is the best time to bake them
