[@Mr.Abreu.76]

Not long ago, some chef at Tasty made a video about making croissants and made them look way too complicated and not worth making at all. Chef John is using pretty much the same techniques, but he makes it look easy and makes me want to make them. Kudos to being a great educator, apart from being a great chef and a funny guy to listen to.

[@TheOnlyHeftyEagle]

do you mean these? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIS6haWYa7B8hKs

[@Nocturne22]

The food producers at Tasty are a hot mess. They don't seem to know how to test recipes or do basic research. Like, they're getting paid to do that but they're terrible at it, which is why a lot of their recipes don't actually work.

[@giladzxc17]

Tasty arent chefs, theyre idiots. All of their “recipes” are taking premade dough, covering it with cheese, and baking.

[@wwaxwork]

No that's what their audience calls recipes so that's what they make.

This still looks way too complicated. I'll just buy the damn thing. I won't waste an entire day and I won't have to deal with the royal PITA tht is live yeast. Win-win.

I had croissants rising in the fridge when this video popped up. Your method is much easier. I will try it next time. They look wonderful.

[@TheItsmegp46]

This is so complex. Bless your heart for making them!

[@PlatypusGuitar]

you rise them at cold temp? I thought it was mandatory to rise any dough at warm temp. Does it make a difference in the final result?

[@MissBabyNe]

PlatypusGuitar slow rising develops a better flavor, and for a crossiant the coldness will keep the butter from melting

[@vdj4859]

Did u tried this recipe ?

[@BreasImplants101]

PlatypusGuitar you always rise croissants in the fridge. Before they go in the oven they will proof in room temperature for 1-2 hours.

[@candicechristensen1753]

I made these today and they turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I have never had them turn out so PERFECT!!!!!! Love this recipe.

[@mysticwolf11]

One of my fondest memories as a kid was eating croissants with butter and jam at my grandmother's house. Perhaps these will help me better taste that memory! Thank you, chef!

[@da96103]

You think you are in a ratatouille movie?

[@GaleRazorwind]

I tried this recipe today with a two modifications. I used pastry flour instead of bread flour and I didn't put the dough back in the fridge after adding in the butter block. Mine came out a lot lighter in color, with a light, crispy, flaky crust and a soft, moist and buttery inside. Yes, they were delicious! My mom passed away a few years ago and her meals were talked about and remembered by all who tried them. My favorite was her croissants, and the ones I made today were as good as hers! This was my first time baking anything. Thank you so much for showing how easy it really is.

[@balagtas1020]

What's the difference with the result using pastry flour and all purpose flour?

[@michaelbergman1708]

I actually did this about twenty years ago and it made me appreciate the work that went into by the bakeries. For this to be worth the time you need to double the amount of dough although that would increase your time by 1 - 2 hours. I actually used four sheets of butter, but my sheets were paper thin. My dough, at the end was at least half as thin as yours so I got more wraps per croissant. I made them for my wife's parents the week after we got married and they loved them so much that the croissants were gone in ten minutes. Fortunately, we live close to a bakery that makes outstanding croissants, so I never have to do that again. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

[@mahdeealoo69]

Can't wait to try this. Sick of buying croissants that are like soft air-bread hamburger buns.

[@DrValerie800]

Chef John, I have made these a couple times now and they are DELISH! I have graduated from making amoeba shapes to making misshapen worm shapes, with occasionally something vaguely resembling a croissant. I have discovered that using half the amount of butter for the slab gives me a better consistency for sandwiches (gotta have my chicken salad croissants). Also, substituting 20% lupin flour increases the protein content, decreases the carbs, and still gives me the taste and exterior crunch I love. Now if I could just get my fingers to shape them correctly!

[@donkeysausages]

I applaud you Chef John for making this video. Every other croissant recipe I've seen so far have been overly complicated and turned med off to try and do it myself. It's not until today after I saw your video, I thought I'd give it a shot. It turned out to be easy and tastier than any croissants I've had in Paris (although I've only been there twice ;)). Although it took about 5-6 hours total the amount of work wasn't that much.

[@mariuszfurman5875]

danny butterman How about gluten free flour? Sure it'll not be same but yeast here only 'soften' pastry at the beginning, end effect is due to fat, so can be even vegan. Yeaaaa, I know it'll not be chef John's one but.....

Because gluten free flour is just awful on every possible level.

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

I've wondered on occasion what French chefs did long ago, when they made laminated dough before they had refrigeration or freezers. They may have had delivered blocks of ice in an ice box or an actual ice room if they baked for royalty.... I just wonder sometimes.

[@msr1116]

From what my European family told me, there were two places always cool to chilly---well below ground and next to moving water. I vaguely recall a small wooden (or maybe stone) structure built next to the river, which was pristine then. Here's a link: www.quora.com/How-were-drinks-and-foodstuffs-kept-cold-prior-to-the-invention-of-refrigeration-and-in-historical-times-how-did-people-procure-and-preserve-ice

[@sharroon7574]

You may find this odd but I find it interesting that a lot of classical french cuisine was invented for Royalty. I mean it's decadent and far removed from peasant food ( which I also love) . You need to have resources to afford the meat and bones required for reduction sauces and so much butter to make a croissant. Of course I know there is french peasant food too but I am specifically referring to the decadent dishes made for the wealthy.

[@thomascocker2427]

[@urbanviii6557]

John is fairly straightforward, but this Rx is so over the top in terms of time and procedure, that it is incredible. I suppose that the French and American bakeries do this every single day. I thought it was simple. It is not simple, if you want it to look like that!

[@Molgoatkirby]

I remember seeing a gordon ramsay video where he went to this French place, and they used some special machine for quickly flattening a massive amount of dough so they could do it all so quick that they don't have to keep refrigerating it.

[@urbanviii6557]

John did not use a special machine, but did it the hard way. How many hours passed playing with it, chilling it, playing with it again, in order to get this result.? Do I have the patience to do what he did? I wonder.

[@inurfaqira]

✨🥐 Croissant Diary 🥐✨ *16/4/20* I made croissants once LONG time ago and it was a mess. I was so scared to make it again because a relative of mine commented on my failure so harshly. And bear in mind, I was a child at that time. I think I'm around 14 or so. But now, I think I am ready. I am a better baker now. I'm gonna tackle this tonight and hopefully I'll have some croissants to serve tomorrow morning! Will update soon! Edit: I'm at the first lamination stage and my butter is melting like crazy. It's hot and humid where I live, so that might be an issue. One other thing that I'm noticing is that my dough is rising WAY too much. I left them in the fridge for 20 minutes and it's grown into a pillow inside the plastic wrap. Maybe I should reduce the yeast? I can feel this failing again😭 I have a feeling that the seams would burst open because of the rising of the dough. Will update in 15 mins. Edit 2: Alright, since I think my fridge is not cold enough, I decided to move it into the freezer for around 20 minutes. The dough didn't grow as much and the butter is refreezed. I rolled them out for second fold, and the butter didn't spill as much. Just a little bit excess from the first fold. It's easier to handle this time. I gained se hope! I don't know if the dough already absorbed the butter but hopefully it doesn't so I could at least get some layers. Will update soon! Ohh, and I'm renaming this comment 'Croissant Diary' for my reference! Edit 3: *sigh* I took out the dough and tried rolling it again. The dough got so thin that it breaks, revealing the butter AND some parts of the butter is a lot thicker than other so I'm getting some lumps when I'm folding. The chunks then punctured through the already thin dough. At this point, I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't think there will be layers, heck I don't even know if I can roll them thin enough to make the croissant shape😪 I am so tired already, ngl. Well, I'm gonna do the final roll now, let's see what's gonna happen... Edit 4: So, I rolled it out. The small tears became bigger in every roll. I tried saving it by packing some flour on the globs of broken butter pieces that had completely poked through the dough. I am at a wit's end. I did the final half fold, roll them a bit, and cut it in half. If I could get some layers I'll be happy. Picked up the dough and look and behold, LAYERS! Though very very uneven. The lamination is the problem, at some parts there's a thick piece of butter, at others none. Tried to roll it out and of course, the butter burst out. The outer layer of the dough has become so so thin. I kept on rolling as I put more flour to keep it from sticking. Cut, and shaped the dough into somewhat a croissant shape. Proofed them and of course, it burst and tear. Baked it. They come out pretty flat, but some looked decent. Some collapse completely because the butter melted and soaked up the dough. Anyways, I tasted them. Well duh it tastes good, its melted butter and some dough cooked together. It tasted more like biscuits though. And yess, I got the layers, even though it's not at all fluffy or pretty, just very flaky. I am thinking to maybe make some chicken pot pie and just roll out the dough thin. *What I learned* I'm gonna make it again sometime soon. I have a few pointers that I think would work when I do it next time. I'm gonna transfer the butter when it's frozen and pinch the sides very well so it doesn't burst. Wait for 5-10 mins before rolling. Next time, I'm going to let them cool in the freezer from the beginning. It fell apart after the first fold I did, was too soft and the butter melted A LOT. Fridge was too slow keeping the butter cold. The dough rises too much. With that being said, I'm also gonna reduce the amount of yeast, maybe to 2tsp only. Last thing I need to keep in mind is I need to make sure the butter sheet is very flat and even. When I was making this one, the butter was thick at certain places. I think that is all. I'm gonna update my croissants journey here! Adding date for my future reference. If anyone is reading, hope this helps a little and thank you for reading!

[@lorieberjamin2378]

I made my first croissant when I was 14 too and it was really terrible, but it had layers. I didn’t want to give up because my mom told me I wouldn’t be able to make it perfectly because I was not French, which doesn’t make sense. I’m still 14, but I perfected them and I don’t need to look at any recipe now. I still make them because I think I make better croissants than my local bakeries. I think confidence is the secret to making croissants. If you don’t have confidence you’ll probably start crying like how I did when I first made macarons. Good luck!

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

Go to Walmart and get a big polypropylene cutting board that you can suspend over your sink or half of a double sink. I have one dedicated just for baking. I also pull out two drawers and place a towel-covered board over them, to extend my counter depth and extra surface area, they're always there. And you can always get a small cart, remove stuff from your counter and store them in the cart, to free up stable counter space, or store them onmthat board over the drawers. You can just move stuff around when you're baking, then put it back. They don't have much counter space in NYC or Italian apartments but they cook and bake, you should be able to do that too. At the very worst, you could do rollouts and kneading on a board on your coffee table, then go to the kitchen to get to the fridge. Where there's a will, there's a way. Hell, when I made dough for samosas, I had my polypropylene board on the kitchen floor, so I could get on my knees and gain leverage over the dough (and I'll never do that again, I use filo now instead).

[@BreasImplants101]

I love Chef John's recipes but this was a major fail. So I made it a couple of times and the first time was probably the best but I had the same issues every single time. I recommend sticking with the classic croissant recipes which require over a day of preparation. 1.) The butter- CJ states to use room temperature butter for the butter pat. You actually want to use cold butter. Room temperature butter is going to be so warm when you roll it into the dough, it will melt into the layer. If you start with cold butter, roll it out and keep it in the fridge, that will be the perfect consistency. 2.) I'm not sure if Chef weighed out his flour or scooped it out, but I weighed mine out (420g) and found that this wasn't sufficient. 3.) the final roll out was a COMPLETE disaster. Using this small amount of flour to a large amount of butter caused the butter to ooze out of the dough in excess. The consistency of the dough was so terrible that it just deteriorated as rolling it out. It was a complete mess. My work station had so much butter on it. Again, this may be due to the fact that butter isn't cold enough and the flour wasn't weighed, but scooped. 4.) when the croissants baked butter oozes out of it (which is a great thing depending on who you ask), but it made the bottom of the croissants burn. 5.) CJ doesn't actually explain how long the rectangle should be during each roll out period. 16 inches I'm assuming and 8 inches wide...well 16 inches was impossible to roll out during that last fold and after the dough was split in half. Despite my critique, it wasn't bad. It's just a mess and honestly you're better off using a tradition croissant recipe.

My food wish is this Eastern European curd snack thingy that is covered with chocolate (Kohuke). Sadly I can't really buy them anywhere in USA, they don't last long and I don't know how to make them. :(

[@pabloschultz5192]

thedarkknightrises1 would you happen to know what country this dish is from?

[@Masidore]

Pablo Schultz kohuke is an estonian word for this thing. But they also do them all around Baltics :)

[@kimberlyrobinson3992]

There is a video on KZbin showing how to make this snack. Search for "Estonian Kohuke".

[@darrelldesouza4189]

will you please show me how to boil peas

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

You dint boil less. You briefly steam them just so the skin gets tender but still bright green. Use frozen peas, they're frozen within hours of harvest and are very good.
