VEGAN CROISSANTS🥐 3 ways🍫🧈🧀(To the point Creator's Cut)

[@oliviainglese6868]

Guys! Try to find vegan butter that's at least 80% fat. Unfortunately a lot of vegan butters (tubs AND sticks) are close to 60% fat and that extra water gives you an inferior croissant (if you've struggled with vegan buttercream, cookies, or laminated doughs that weren't quite right, the extra water is the culprit). If you can find FLORA PLANT BUTTER, buy it! There are other high quality brands but I think that's the one that's most widely available. Happy baking!

[@generallygenna]

Thank you for the advice!!

[@UniquelySustainable]

Thanks for this tip!

[@mia-om3qj]

how do I determine fat percentage

[@redpandah3309]

​@@mia-om3qj search on the package. If not, go to manufactures website and search there. Otherwise use coconut oil - refined for neutral taste, unrefined for coconut flavour (only good for sweet croissants, you don't want cheese croissants to taste like coconut 😅)

[@catalyst3713]

​​​​​@@mia-om3qj Find the "Total Fat" on the Nutrition Facts label, it'll be in grams (g). Divide that number by the Serving Size, converted to grams. If the resulting number is less than .8, then it's not enough fat. For example, one of my favorite plant butters, Miyoko's, has 10g fat per 1 tbsp (14g) Serving Size. 10/14 = .714, which means it's only 71% fat, and thus, not ideal for this recipe.

I made these once, when you posted the original recipe years ago, and though they were delectable, they were so much work even for me, a trained culinarian, that it was forbidding. A couple of days ago, I happened upon the transcript of the recipe that I had noted down in a little recipe notebook--4 PAGES!--and worked from that time, and chuckled thinking about when I'd have the time to watch the video again and make these . . . and here you are, reminding me how much I loved the results. And also how much I respected you for filming this while dealing with a chronic health issue in your arms; I shouldn't be a sook about doing this. Thanks for posting : )

[@marystestkitchen]

I don't blame you! It IS a long process. AND you want to wait for cool weather as well haha

[@Bulbassador]

Croissants are such a labor of love. Thank you for sharing 😊♡

[@marystestkitchen]

You are so welcome!

[@xGuerrillaGirlx]

I made these! They were amazing! At first glance it looks complicated, but it really isn't. It takes some planning though. Mix the dough on any night of the week after dinner, do the laminations on Friday night, (or spread it over several nights). Then you have a dough ready for Saturday morning to shape, proof and bake ❤❤❤

[@pamhuntsinger7234]

Beautiful! I went to school to be a pastry chef and you nailed it girl! BRAVO👏 ❤

[@marystestkitchen]

🙏🙏🙏

[@gaberich8994]

Oh, to watch this has been like a kind of baking meditation, thank you 🤗 In Germany we have a savory version that is like a crossing between Croissant and Brezel (called "Laugencroissant") and it's absolutely delicious ... maybe I will find the courage to try recreating this...sometimes!

[@marystestkitchen]

that sounds amazing!

[@michaels5705]

They look lovey. Thanks for taking the time to share your process with us.

[@marystestkitchen]

Thanks for watching!

[@wearegeek]

Oh, my god! I subscribed to your channel because of the tofu experiments. Little did I know what masterful recipes were waiting for me. First the vegan burgers, now this... 🤤 You! Are! Awesome!

[@marystestkitchen]

I'm so glad you're enjoying these different recipes too :-)

[@melodioushaste]

She is! One of the best vegan channels on youtube.

[@mir3589]

made these in these past few days and they came out amazing. if you live in italy buy the Gioia brand of margarine, it works extremely well. the pain au chocolat came out much fluffier and also puffed up more than the croissants for some reason, but everything came out so good and the lamination was perfect!!!

[@marystestkitchen]

Yay! That's awesome!

[@sandracarli1110]

Thank you for listing the ingredients on the screen so it's easy to follow along. 😻In Italy I've seen them with pistachio cream, with turmeric (!) and with custard.

[@marystestkitchen]

wow I bet they are amazing

[@sandracarli1110]

@@marystestkitchen Yes, they are good. My son asked me to reproduce them so I'm happy you posted this recipe. ;)

Thank you so much!!

These look phenomenal! Thank you for posting this. I always thought that croissants were a task I couldn’t overcome as a home baker, but I’m excited to try this approachable recipe.

[@marystestkitchen]

you can totally do it!

Awesome Mary!! I See Vegan Croissant, I click Video ❤❤❤

This recipe is incredible! Well explained, beautiful video, excellent! I will be making these croissants and pain au chocolat this coming weekend! Thank you!

Sounds great!

Excited to make these! Thank you!💖💖

You are so welcome!

[@angeladiaz7746]

Looks delicious even though it looks like a lot of work you still make it look easy enough to make but I probably won’t but enjoyed watching you make them ❤

[@marystestkitchen]

Might be something to make with a friend :-) it's more fun when there's more hands on deck

[@ancientsoul3694]

I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you for sharing such great techniques and recipes.😊 Blackstrap unsulphered molasses does wonders for health...It is rich in calcium, iron, Potassium to name a few!

[@marystestkitchen]

Thanks :-)

[@mattia51296]

Your immense dedication!! This was top notch 💯💯 Looking forward to new tofus testing videos!

[@marystestkitchen]

Thank you 🙌

[@DaarkCloud]

I just had the idea of mixing multiple tofu bases together to make a complex protein and also using wheat protein. Shread the wheat protein and press with the tofu and it seems like it would be an interesting meat substitute

[@marystestkitchen]

Sounds great!

[@lilyspencer6189]

Amazing recipe! Better than any others I've tried! If you're looking for something else to test, I'd love to make danishes but know that danish dough contains egg. I've heard you can make danishes with croissant dough, but that danish dough is more sturdy which is important for adding filling. I might try a recipe and replace eggs with Just Egg. Have you ever tried this? Thanks again for so much awesome content!

[@marystestkitchen]

Thanks for the kind words! I'm so glad you're enjoying this recipe. To answer your question, I have not tried making danish with Just Egg but it sounds like a worthwhile experiment! Please let me know how it goes :-)

[@melodioushaste]

Those are gorgeous! I will never, ever make these, but if I did, I'm pretty sure I'd do a jalapeno cheese version.

[@marystestkitchen]

sounds amazing!

[@vevethatsme]

Looks yum! Great job. Thanks 👍

[@marystestkitchen]

Thank you too!

[@veganbodybybelinda]

Can’t wait to try baking these 😍

Hope you enjoy!

[@greerzzlybear]

Gotta be daory free for baby and im stress bakong. Croissants are so intimidating, I'm excited to try this!

[@beasthound200]

Hi, I really liked your keto bread recipe. Can you make a keto pasta recipe

[@UniquelySustainable]

Would you ever do a keto recipe? I made vegan keto croissants using a non-vegan recipe and they came out good! But I know one made by you would be top-tier.

[@marystestkitchen]

haha i tried before and it turned into something resembling deli meat rather than croissants. Never say never though

[@dibamoca9885]

Oh ma gawd, I’m drooling 🤤

[@marystestkitchen]

Mission accomplished 💪

[@pixelated.peachyangel]

I want to eat a crossaint so badly now

[@StefyB5]

They look so yummy but I know I don't have the patience to make them. Luckily my usual grocery shop has empty vegan croissants and I can fill them with whatever I want. They are delicious 😊

[@marystestkitchen]

how convenient :-)

[@Livingthefreelife]

Yum 😋

[@marystestkitchen]

thanks for watching!

[@_Mercival_]

Glad you're showing some more regular recipes, but I hope you're keeping an eye on the carbs! I'm allergic to soy and mostly plant-based, so I totally understand the struggle of bending over backwards to find alternatives that work for your health.

[@marystestkitchen]

Ah yes. Unfortunately, I cannot have these myself. Though I still enjoy making them 🥰 for friends and events only lol One day I'll crack the code on making a vegan keto version. One day 💪

[@_Mercival_]

I would not put that past you for a second!

[@sydneybristow123]

Will still be here waiting for the keto version…😊 No pressure though.🤭😅

[@aliyannajoy1607]

have you tried freezing the buttere and then shredding the buttr and then sprinkling over th dough....I used to do this when I did it with reg butter when I could!!! lol easier to do and seems to work better....I also do this with biscuits......... strange things ya do to make th stress ease.

[@marystestkitchen]

I have with biscuits too! Never have I ever tried to commit that level of blasphemy for croissants tho ;-) hehe

[@aliyannajoy1607]

I tried as always made a big mess and this was sooooooo much easier......gotta rise to the heights to see what crazines you can find!!!! lol

[@mimishimaineko1173]

Brilliant! My croissant prayers have been answered.🥐🧡

[@marystestkitchen]

Glad I could help!

[@godsdaughter8439]

Video idea recommendation: vegan, keto gyoza!

The dough on your pain au chocolate was good, but the first croissant the pastry was not light enough.

[@marystestkitchen]

they were all from the same batch of dough

[@cherimemacfarlane3290]

I don't have the patience. But nice to watch.

[@marystestkitchen]

lol fair enough!

[@iyouitry]

Do not ask for Gluten Free Version Please lol

[@marystestkitchen]

haha they can ask. It'll never happen on this channel though

[@sajverse]

Yeah.. no.. 😩
