How to speed up your croissant dough lamination with 2KG of butter?

In this video, I wanted to share some differences in how different bakeries laminate the croissant dough using 2 kg of butter in one go. You will notice some details. Furthermore, if you have a big lamination machine, saving time is very important.

Wonderful Video as Always 👌. Machines & technology have advanced So Much over the years, it's Amazing. But it's Lovely to see the 'Hands on' in the Bakery too. Thanks for Sharing Kris. Have a Great Week ahead. ☘🥰

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hey! yes all kind of machines are very helpful so we can take care of our health better in this environment, however, I am glad we still need to use hands as otherwise we would be just supervisors of the machines jiji 😀 thanks very much! hope you will have a great week ahead! :)

[@samchappelle3056]

I do something similar in my bakery with three 1kg blocks of butter. But it has to be really cold inside - to get that much in the sheeter I have to sheet the butter blocks to about 4mm and the dough to about 6 or 7, so if they’re too thick they won’t fit through the machine. If it’s warm at all in the bakery, it’s not fun to work with such thin butter blocks!

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hey! Wow thanks for sharing! I have never made a croissant lamination with 3 kg of butter, how big is your machine?😀

[@rickthebaker9379]

This seems like extra work. We just sliced the butter lengthwise into strips and laid them across 2/3rds of the dough and did a single fold.

[@rickthebaker9379]

So much trimming. Tbe bakeries that I worked in did no trimming during folding. We just left the very edges for trim after cutting. These were mixed into the ne,t dough.

[@JACKSPARROW-qp4yj]

Very nice thanks chef

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

my pleasure :)

[@monikakazlauskaite985]

Ohh wow! What a precise work! I had no idea about amount of butter🙈

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hihi it’s a bit technical as normally bakeries laminate with 1 kg of butter since they don’t have big lamination machines🤓 so in this video i went into details 😁

[@kamaljaber3107]

Hi Master Amazing work But i have a question if u please can you answer it ? How many kg dough? Or flour ?

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

hello, thanks very much! the weight of dough depends really, can be 3.4kg /3kg /3.2kg of dough to 1 kg butter (lamination) :)

[@nico54433]

Kris i would love to see how you roll the scraps/trimmings and what you make with them. Saludos desde Argentina! 🧉

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Noted ✅ ☺️ saludos desde Madrid :))

[@icehotchilli]

would it change the dough gluten structure if I cut it horizontally into half instead of sheeting it to double length and cut it in half before adding the butter? the reason why I did that way is because the butter I use is round shape after pressing, the dough is formed a round shape after mixing. That way I can match the dough and butter shape. Thanks.

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

hey, to be completely honest, not sure I understood your question, however, if you need a rectangular shape croissant dough - shape it in a ball, cut a cross and flatten it down. The dough will relax and will get a rectangular shape :)

Hey! Thanks for staying till the end ☺️

[@lba2746]

Do you get 27 layers in the first method and 32 layers in the second method? And does it give the difference in the structure in the croissants you show at the end? Love that you show the craft, which goes into the the tebirkes, spandauer and croissants.

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hey, thanks so much, love hearing your comment, great that you watch other videos too☺️ well according my calculations the first method is 4x3=12 layers; the second method 8x3=24 layers.

hi chef, i do this method first i got my croissant with single fold and i rest it, but when i roll it, the butter suddenly crack, what am i supposed to do?? and what the reason of crack butter?? thank you chef

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

do you rest your dough in the freezer? looks like your stays too long in too cold environment, when you take it out and try roll straight away - butter breaks. Butter and dough should be the same temperature when you roll it. ;)

Hi chef I've a confusion. 1)Can I roll the dough according to its length ( the longer side) or do I have to maintain a specific pattern while rolling the dough? Or Do I always roll in a vertical way or horizontal? 2) Could you please tell me the folds you give while rolling?

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hello, you are welcome to do as you wish but I recommend to follow as I show :) I do 1 double and 1 single fold.

[@TM-we6rh]

@@KrisKazlauskaite thank you chef. And one more question, how many folds are there in an authentic croissant?

[@alexanderdavid7685]

Hi Chef! What is your proofing time and temperature for the croissants? Do you spray water or add humidity while proofing? How do you bake it? sorry for length of question lol

[@ISONA1616]

Perfecto Kris el método no es mejor ni peor sino diferente y algo mas rápido, la grasa o mantequilla se distribuye o reparte mejor y de forma mas sencilla ,se haces la misma cantidad de producto pero con la mantequilla mas repartida, creo que la temperatura de los productos y locales ha veces no están muy bien, por lo tanto si puedes ganar tiempo mejor , esta es mi modesta opinion no se si es la que tu Kris intentas mostrar en el video...gracias por todo.

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

Hello, my idea was to show that with over 6kg of dough you can use 2 kg butter, so what it means is that you get double amount of dough which equals in more pastries. Moreover, I showed that you can use one sheet of butter or 2x1kg, so it's kind of inspiration how things can be done differently. Wishing you all the best and see you soon!

I didn’t get why method is better?

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

You make double amount of croissant dough in one go. However, it works if you have relatively big lamination machine. The dough weight is around 6.5 kg +2kg butter. Otherwise you can apply the first method for 1 plaque of butter and will be totally fine, which is roughly 3kg butter + 1kg butter. 😇

Hey Kris thanks for the new method. Love those croissants!The music was louder than normal and harder to hear what you were saying.
