THE DEFINED LAYERS!!! THE AIRINESS!!! 😩😩 what beautiful croissants!!!

[@Bennysbaked]

😀Thank you so much!

[@robertgreene2621]

STEPS: 1. Put all ingredients in mixing bowl, except for the butter. 2. DDT for dough is 24-26 C. If your kitchen is cold, your water temperature needs to be heated (ie. 40C) in order to reach the DDT. If your water temp is 40C, do not add yeast directly in the water. 3. If the initial dough temperature is very cold, the initial proofing time will be very long. 4. Add the soft butter when a shaggy mess forms after the dough ingredients are combined. 5. The surface of the dough won’t tear when you tuch the sides under. 6. Check the dough temperature with a thermometer. 7. Make the butter slab. Draw a 20cm x 18cm rectangle. Roll the butter into the rectangle. You can also use a zip lock bag to roll with butter. This can be made days in advance. 8. The dough should tripe in size. Degas and fold into a rectangle. This will give more strength to the dough. 9. Place the dough in the fridge to proof again overnight. The slow fermentation not only allows gluten to fully develop, but also gives a nice flavor. 10. Before we laminate, take the butter slab out of the fridge 20 minutes earlier. Roll it a few times until its malleable. The texture of the butter must be the same as the dough. 11. Once the dough has finished resting overnight, roll it twice as big as the butter slab, keeping it rectangular. 12. Perform a 3-4-3 folding process once the dough is 2x the butter size. Start with placing the butter slab in the middle, trim off 2 pieces of dough and place them on top of the butter. All sides of the dough should flush with butter like a perfect sandwich. That’s why you should keep your butter and dough rectangular at all times. Try to match the flaps. This prevents gaps of flour not having any butter! 13. Use bench flour to start rolling. Tap the dough first before rolling with the rolling pin. This helps the butter distribute more evenly. 14. Roll out the dough to about 60 cm lengthwise. We will be working in the landscape position (ie. Short side is up-down, long side is left-right). 15. First fold (double turn). Bring 1/3 of the dough in to meet the center from one side. From the other side, bring 2/3 of the dough in the center so both sides meet in the middle. Flatten out the dough and with a rolling pin and then close it in half right at the middle like a book. 16. Cut open the corners to release pressure (from the yeast). 17. We just stretch the dough one direction (ie length wise), now we stretch it in the opposite direction by recreating a 60cm rectangle (ie height wise). If you keep rolling the dough in the same direction, it will tear and resist. From the opposite direction, roll out the dough to 60cm again. 18. Second fold (single turn). Fold in 1/3 of the sides from both directions meeting in the middle. You should get even 1/3 sections. Allow the dough to rest in the fridge for one hour. 19. Take out of the fridge 5 minutes before rolling so the butter is not too hard. If you roll it straight away the butter layers will shatter. 20. Roll the dough to 4mm thick. 50cm x 35cm by rectangle. 21. Trim off all sides to get straight edge. Next portion 10cm width x 30cm in length triangle (isosceles triangle). 22. Roll the croissant dough upwards from the bottom of the triangle as the base. 23. Brush them with milk before proofing them. 24. Put croissants in a turned off oven, and place a tray of steaming water under to provide heat and humidity. Be careful! If the temperature is over 27C the butter inside croissants will melt! Proofing time should be about 2 hours depending on the temperature. 25. When the croissants are ready, they become bigger, the layers visibly separate slightly, and wobble nicely. 26. Brush them again with milk before baking, you can also use egg wash. 27. Bake at 190 C, fan forced for 20 minutes. 28. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Make sure they cool completely before slicing. INGREDIENTS: Dough: 500g Plain flour (11% protein) 50g Sugar 10g Good quality sea salt 250g Water 100g Soften butter ( At least 80% butterfat ) 10g Dry yeast, or 30g fresh yeast Butter Lamination: 250g Soft good quality butter for lamination 20cm x 18cm rectangle paper

[@vikz5786]

Two years late to the party I know, but this has to be one of the best recipes and techniques I have ever seen for making croissants. What a treasure.

[@sarahlim423]

Hello! I made these today, and they are absolutely GORGEOUS. Mine came out almost exactly the same as the video, and I am pretty proud of them haha. So flakey and buttery, crunchy on the outside but soft in the middle. I actually made this without a stand mixer, so I did everything by hand! It was quite a bit of hard work, but you get an arm workout :) (which you need after eating these 😂) Temperature REALLY matters when making croissants. I was lucky enough to have almost the same temperatures as you did, so I could follow the recipe accordingly. However, if you live in a really hot country, or it’s summer, I would definitely recommend changing the amount of time the dough sits in the fridge and proofs for. I used a mixture of bread and plain flour - my bread flour had 12% protein and my plain had around 9.5%, so I mixed them to get a good ratio of both. What I really like about this recipe, is that you can see the layer of butter when you roll the dough out, and make sure it’s not melting into the dough/breaking. If you can see it melting/breaking, I would immediately stop and stick it in the fridge/leave it for another 5 minutes. Also, I would recommend doing an egg wash instead of just milk. I baked them for 20 minutes with just milk, and they didn’t get much colour. So I ended up brushing on some egg wash then baking them for an extra 3-4 minutes to get them a nice golden brown. THANK YOU so much for this absolutely amazing recipe! It is honestly such a great croissant recipe that is great for beginner-moderately experienced bakers. I hope you will continue to make these extremely informative videos! Oh, and did I mention it was my second attempt at making croissants?! And that I am 14 years old? 🙃 If I can do it, you can too! :)

[@Bennysbaked]

I'm so happy to hear that! Great job :) Making croissants is pretty much all about temperature control!

[@kristinkim6923]

I really want to make these! They look so delicious and gorgeous but I don't have a stand mixer. How can I do it by hand and could you make a video of croissants by hand?

[@Breadystickle]

You can do it by hand itll just take a bit longer! If you're doing it by hand make sure you're adding the right proportions of ingredients otherwise it might cause a headache. To do it by hand youll add your ingredients to a medium sized bowl as shown in the video (dry ingredients whisked together, and then water and not butter) and youll use your hand to mix the ingredients into a dough ball trying to get it as cohesive as you can about 2-3 minutes. And then transfer to a clean surface and knead a bit before incorporating your butter. Heads up on the butter: I recommend doing half the butter at a time. ( add one half. Knead. Add second half. Knead again.) Your dough will fall apart at this stage but itll pull itself together as you continue to knead it so dont get discouraged Your surface will also get covered in butter and there's no way around that but as your dough is coming together again you should incorporate any table butter back into the dough. Continue kneading to the best of your ability for several minutes 10-15 or until your dough feels soft and passes the window test in the video.

@1:56 Did that dough scream, "Ahhhh....oouch,"? 😂 I think it did!

[@Bennysbaked]

I started using a temperature gun to check the dough temp recently instead of a probe XD Save it from screaming

@@Bennysbaked You welcome bro!🤗 By the way Love from Pakistan!😇

[@gsummerhayes7299]

My first attempt at croissants used a different recipe and they were more like danishes - too doughy. I decided to give your method & recipe a try for croissants on Christmas morning and they turned out absolutely beautiful. I'm kind of in awe that I managed to make such perfect pastry on my second try!! Thank you! Everyone needs to try this recipe.

[@gsummerhayes7299]

Oh, forgot to say that I froze these. I rolled the croissants then par-froze uncovered for one hour, then finally froze overnight in freezer bags. In the morning I let them defrost for an hour before proofing for 2hrs in the oven. Baked them on convection for 6mins, then standard bake for another 15mins.

@@gsummerhayes7299 Great job!

[@Bennysbaked]

So happy to hear that🙂

[@deadsky7229]

Afraid to make these not because I’m scared of the difficulty, but because I know my family will bug me for the rest of my life to make more

[@Bennysbaked]

It's a sweet burden ;)

Thank you for your recipe, you are best in the homemade croissant making, I have been watching.

Hi guys, Ben here! Thanks for all the feedback and comments🙂 There will be more croissant and laminated pastry related video coming soon. Including a series of detailed theories on the croissant dough, the butter, the proofing, and temperature..etc. I'm back to work now so the upload time would be very random now. However, I do check comments every day and I try to answer all your questions as fast as possible, so feel free to ask any questions! Thanks again for all your supports! Keep claim and bake on!😁
