324 Layer Croissant from Yakitate!! Japan | Anime with Alvin

[@omnezia7834]

"Alex French guy cooking" actually explored what the perftet amount of pastry layers, that would be ideal for a Croissant. he made a batch of 12 different ones. honestly quite interesting.

[@Mugsi]

Yeah, I remember that, too! At some point, the layers became so dense that it had more of a cake-like texture or something? Not bad, but not a croissant, anymore. I forgot what the ideal number of folds was.

[@nicolaulanza]

Actually, wasn't for croissant, but puff pastry

[@masha8770]

This was my first thought as well! Clearly a lot of people took something from that video :D @Nicolas Lanza Ferreira The principle of so many layers that at some point they are indistinguishable still applies. The only difference is that one contains yeast and sugar, the other doesn't. The yeast leads to the more chewy texture but doesn't really do anything for the layers.

"Impressed but horrified" is my guess at his reaction

I’m so happy that this anime got a second life. I watched this when I was a preteen. It taught me loads of food science + Japanese culture. Even though it may all be entry level little tidbit knowledge, this anime made me explore more of both Japanese culture and cooking, well into adulthood.

[@atherrien95]

Same here. I watched it in bits on KZbin around 2008. Glad to see people appreciative of it still

[@chize3085]

Oh man, I was rewatching Yakitate Japan and had a conversation about the show with a Japanese friend of mine. She said back in the day when the anime was airing on TV, they would sell the breads from the show in convenience stores for about a week until the next episode’s bread shows up. Got me real jealous bc as a kid, I really wanted to try some of the breads they were making in the show.

[@GhostDrow]

Really appreciate that Alvin both uses and shows that he is using the scraps. One of my biggest peeves is these food channels typically wasting so much food.

[@werdfeefs7027]

I learned a ton of cool techniques from this, thank you! Whipping the flour into the butter block and the indents when rolling out your dough are both brilliant, intuitive, and not something that I'd ever have thought of from the savory side of things.

[@Ohanamie]

I was actually quite surprised to see the butter whipped with flour. This way is normally used to fold the "French method" (it's basically the other way around. The butter is encapsuling the dough) but for this method (called German method) it's not necessary at all. What's most important is the consistency of butter and dough. (They should be of the same consistency). But oh well I should try one time.
