Hi there sorry I may have missed it but can’t seem to find where you explained the minutes on second speed?

[@JuanFlores-fl1he]

This is the video I have been looking for. Everyone keeps saying that the most important thing is the butter quality

[@theartisancrust8477]

It certainly is both for the taste and a good quality butter will be flexible and give you great lamination

Thank you sir

[@ayoubbelabzar2411]

thanks chef for all the tips. in morocco we have a butter special to croissant and type of bakery like croissant but i found out that it's to hard to work with it even with room temperature. should i use just normal unsalted butter ?

[@theartisancrust8477]

Still use the sheet butter for the croissant but you have to condition the butter first. I roll out my butter to 4 mm on the pastry break and then give it a single. this give the butter the flexibility needed to laminate into the pastry

[@sourdoughjourney]

Why is it that the butter breaks into pieces during the second fold ?I let the dough rest in the fridge for about 55 mins and let it sit on the table for 5 mins before doing the second fold, and butter always break into pieces , what is the right temperature for the dough for rolling? Thanks

[@theartisancrust8477]

It sounds like you are letting the butter get to cold and that is why the butter cracks. you only need to rest it for a max time of 30 min between folds. If you are using deactivated yeast no rest time is required between folds.

[@rachitparikh2005]

Hi, when you say to use 10% old dough, is it 10% of final dough weight or 10% of flour weight?

[@jimmyhuynh7563]

10% of total dough weight

[@FreakAl0n3]

why my croissant when i use Anchor Buttersheet it is proofing and holding it shape rlly well when i use corman 82% buttersheet , it doesnt proof really well when it baked , instead it proof and shrink. i rlly sad with my product rn

[@butsarapinthabutr9299]

Thank you for the great video. I have a question about scrap dough. How to keep the scrap? In the freezer or chiller and how long in can last? Your fan from Thailand.

[@theartisancrust8477]

It depends on when you need it If it is only 1 day then in the fridge, anything more than that place it in the freezer

My dough is too sticky what should I do

[@theartisancrust8477]

What is your moisture content and how long do you mix it for ???

[@jkk6634]

@@theartisancrust8477 i fixed it by adding more floor.. Thanks

[@paulortiz2035]

Or use a bit less water!

[@paulortiz2035]

And let the mix sit long enough so the water is fully absorbed by the flour. Some doughs start with a 50/50 mix of flour and water that then sit for 12-18 hours in the fridge, with a pinch of yeast mixed in. The flour is then 100% hydrated, or fully hydrated, and is called a 'polish'. Great for flavor development! And it is not particularly sticky at all. Given time flour can absorb a lot of water!

[@shakeyarobinson1985]

hello there, how long do you let your dough rest before laminating?

[@theartisancrust8477]

It get a bulk proofed in a 4 kg piece in the fridge from between 4 - 12 hr

[@elnymiel]

Should the dough be 100% window pane or 75% instead? Sorry I think I lose the point

[@theartisancrust8477]

H Elny, the dough should be about 75% gluten development. This allows for the dough to develop while you are proving and laminating it.. cheers

[@jeanpaulhaddad211]

What am i doing wrong if my layers are disappearing ?

[@theartisancrust8477]

You are rolling it to thin or your butter is to warm or your dough is to soft, all of these issues will make you loose your layers in the final products

[@adrianlim9302]

What is baker's flour??

[@theartisancrust8477]

A flour that has more than 11.5 % protein

[@plengmini2712]

You use 2 type of yeast ????

[@theartisancrust8477]

I use a Saf-instant Gold yeast is an instant dried yeast, which has been specially developed for sweet dough (5% or more sugar/weight of flour). Saf-instant is also available as Saf-Instant Red, recommended for lean or low sugar dough (0-10% sugar/weight of flour).

[@FirstNameLastNameOnly]

Could you try making vegan croissants? Am curious how a master baker would do it compared to laymen on KZbin.

[@Daniellasanche]

It wouldn't be a proper croissant 🤣

[@gerardjones7881]

Just use margarine, they still make marg croissant in Paris, many people don't like butter. Margarine has a cleaner taste.

[@Pauwikann]

The butter from my dough leaked out :(

[@theartisancrust8477]

It could be form your butter layer being to thick, do one more fold and this might fix the problem :)
