Making Spelt Croissants | Dessert Person Cookbook Review

In this video I make some Spelt Croissants and give a quick review of Claire Saffitz's new cookbook "Dessert Person". This was a really fun and challenging baking recipe.
Thanks ‪@CSaffitz‬ for creating such a nice book and I'd highly recommend the cookbook well.

Your voice is so calming! I would love to see you try more of her recipes in her book! You did a great job and the croissants look delicious! 😊❤️

[@DroosKitchen]

Thanks! I plan on, just need the time :)

[@Price_of_Fame]

one of the most challenging recipes in the book! a cool place to start, hope you do more recipes from it

[@DroosKitchen]

Thanks, the next one I try will be much easier lol

[@catmom1738]

I’m making it rn as we speak it has 20 something steps 😓🤞wish me luck.

[@Mariiiieeeeee.J]

@@catmom1738 so how did it go?

[@VPFF-1]

Look at them flakes for dayz! I really like this video because you showed everything! I’m a flaky pastry newbie and I get super nervous when I am making the puff thinking I am fucking it up somehow (even when the final result is good) and watching this made me realize I was beating myself up over things that happen to other people, so thank you! Great video!

[@DroosKitchen]

Thanks, sooo flaky! Yeah it was a fun but challenging to make, good luck in your pastry endeavours!

[@bazzanojulian7729]

these look so beautiful and delicious! just one little tip, next time you make them, when you're about to roll them into their shape, press the tip of the top of the triangle, and when you roll it, that little tale can hide above the body of the croissant and you get that beautiful striped design, if you don't do so, the fermentation process makes the tale go up. I mean, it's a very meaningless thing to point out at, but it's cool to know

[@brnscofrnld]

Thanks for doing this! I have this on my list to try and wanted to see some of the steps played out and it looks like you nailed it for my purposes!

[@catherinekim1860]

That was so much fun! Please make more videos from Dessert Person!

[@piat.2073]

You are so nice! Love the way you chitchat while baking :)

[@xxILOful]

They turned out great!

[@DroosKitchen]

Sure did, still dreaming about them lol

[@walterperrault]

Nice video great job my friend Claire is a rock star she was and is my favorite

[@dominicmoreno4662]

Peace and love. Thanks G

[@yes-gm5ts]

Enjoying the Claire Saffitz love. Great video. Cheers!

[@DroosKitchen]

Thanks! She's awesome.

[@marieh.316]

this was such a nice video! i've already baked mulitple recipes from this book with the focaccia, the sour cream buns and the lemon tarte being my favourites. i've been wanting to do the croissants but i'm waiting for my uni semester to wrap up so i have enough time to try it :) i hope they turn out as good as yours!

[@DroosKitchen]

That's awesome to hear, the lemon tarte looks delish. I am pleasantly surprised at how well written this cookbook is!

[@SrJohnnyCat]

That LAMINATION. 😍😍😍

[@callioscope]

I think it’s a Danish whisk. I love mine. Great video ... totally got the sword reference. 😁 Beautiful croissants. 🥂

[@DroosKitchen]

Thanks! At least one person got the reference lol!

[@sandraraituma]

Making Croissants today for the first time in my life :D I don't have her book, but I used her video she recently had with NYT cooking :D Watching your video to gather some experience. Wish me luck! :D Can't wait to eat mine tomorrow, looks like yours turned out great!

[@justine11012]

Love the video! The butter on mine started peeking through the dough at around turn 2/3. Any tips?

[@danielleharvey3801]

3:09 8ts called a dough whisk. Loved the video.

[@thedduck]

Hhmm.. I'm craving a cheese cake watching this.. 🤤

[@mimieshi5667]

You did so good! I've been shying away from trying this recipe but you've motivated me lol. Also #teamdanishwhisk

[@seasonsofrefreshing7386]

This looks delicious!!! Thanks for sharing friend. Let's stay connected.

[@janwarie]

Those are nice!

[@Antonio-sd5yn]

Aren't they a full spelt croissants right?

[@kersa96]

Hi does the spelt flour make this a ‘healthier’ croissant? I wanted to make this for my brother but he said spelt sounds bad because it’s super heathy

[@krystalbaremore7627]

I personally don't think so. Spelt is more like whole-wheat flour and adds a nutty flavor to your baked goods. I think there's more nutrients in spelt flour making it healthier, but it's not bland or anything. I haven't made these croissants, but I really like it in muffins and scones.

[@Antonio-sd5yn]

no if you add sugar and refined flour

[@projectlifevlogs3968]

your edges were shorter than the center, so, that’s my only critique

[@publiusovidius7386]

For croissant videos, always show a clear cross sectional cut of the final product. That's the only way to reveal how successful the lamination was. Whether there's a honeycombed open crumb. It's a shame to go to all this work and not show the "money" shot. Croissants taste great even if the crumb is flawed, but it's important to show the interior crumb in a clear cut.

[@NZSaskia]

Nope 2020 not a good year🥳

[@mashamedved6266]

Beautiful croissants and very nice video however this recipe is very misleading. It calls for 3 cups of bread flour and only 1/2 cup of spelt which does not make it any healthier. It's just your regular cruissons with very small addition of spelt. I love watching Claires videos and I think she is a very good baker but many recipes are misleading. For those who is dealing with health issues or just trying to stay away from refined products this does not work at all.
