[@spleenvent]

Thank you for this video,I've just bought your book as I've just taken over making croissants at a very respectable bakery in York and the owner wants me to increase the quality of the product and your book will help

Good morning an thanks for the video! Is it important to check the temperature before the plasticising process?

[@joncapybara3503]

I've never had an issue with the butter breaking during the initial encasement of the dough or during the first double fold, but I find that my butter often breaks after resting the dough in the fridge between folds. Must be getting too hard in the fridge. Don't imagine I could use this technique to plasticize the butter after resting the fridge? Or is it better to just let the dough temper after cold resting between folds? Sorry for the dumb question I'm just a line cook who bakes for fun on the side lol

[@anabanana9582]

maybe rest half the time in the fridge and half room temp?

[@JimmyGriffinbaking]

Stand the dough for 5-10 min before sheeting at room temperature

I know this may sound so stupid but the plastic you’re using is it a thick plastic? It’s not just regular cling wrap? Can you tell me what kind of plastic you’re using. Thank you

[@JimmyGriffinbaking]

Try produce bags from grocery or clear plastic bin bags :)

"one of the most common mistakes" -- watching this video because I made this mistake

It would be nice if you had some vocals or at least some texts I have no idea what you're starting off with it looks like cheese in the wrapper the fake cheese in the wrapper Didn't matter what kind of butter I use unsalted butter I'd salt later on if I needed. So this is like I said the 3rd video I've watched and still have no idea how to do it

Turn up the sound? There is a voice over, so it's odd that you can't hear it. Maybe the KZbin audio is on mute or maybe it's your device that needs to be louder. Good luck.
