Solo French Woman Bakes ALL these Croissants Everyday｜A Day in the Life of a French Baker

Today, we are going on to discover a fantastic bakery in the south of France, managed by a young couple, Kévin & Laurine. Laurine is a very hard-working woman baker who works non-stop all day and bakes by herself more than 300 breads per day!
Located in 'Cavignac', a small village in the southwest of France, this 'boulangerie-pâtisserie' is managed by a young couple in their late 20s. Kévin is the master 'pâtissier' chef who makes pastries and cakes, while Laurine is the master bread & 'viennoiserie' baker. When the previous owner retired, they took over the bakery in early 2022, but Laurine is an experienced baker with more than 12 years of experience. Every day, she prepares and bakes more than 300 breads by herself!
They make a wide range of delicious 'pâtisseries', such as cakes, tarts, and pastries, which you can find in a separate video. They offer more than 10 types of French bread, all made from 'levain' (sourdough), ranging from the emblematic French 'baguettes', multigrain, corn breads to 'pains de campagne'.
In a small village where the competition is high, they quickly became one of the favorite bakeries among the locals. So much so, that they were featured in the famous TV show 'La Meilleure Boulangerie de France' on the national TV channel M6, in which they won the competition of that episode!
In this video, we will see how the 'viennoiseries' (pastries) such as 'pain au chocolat' and 'croissant' are made. Laurine mixes and kneads, for a few minutes, the pastry dough with flour, salt, sugar, milk powder, butter & yeast. The dough is then divided and put through a 'laminoir' machine (rolling mill) that is used to make the dough flat. At this stage, the dough will be flatten out and rest in the cold storage. Then the butter will be incorporated, folded multiple times and put through the machine again in order to create the layers of dough and butter that makes the puff pastries.
The dough is then cut and shaped as a 'croissant' and 'pain au chocolat' and proofed for a few hours before baking. The result is a beautiful golden and flaky 'viennoiserie' ready to be devoured.

[@maggiedoor6093]

What a hard worker she is and very skilled. I hope she will train an apprentice and write down her daily recipes and routine etc. The business can't function well if she gets sick, who would step in? Update- Ah, now I have watched a follow-up video, Kevin making French pastries. What a skilled pair, lucky town to have them.

[@wanderfood]

Thanks for your considerate comment. Glad you watch Kevin's work too. Delicious bread and sweets

[@ligiasouza3202]

[@richardw2566]

If I promised to wash all their sheet pans, I wonder if they would let me just SMELL all those awesome baked goods. Skilled artisans, much impressed.

[@wanderfood]

Haha that would be a delicacy to just smell those baked goods !

[@markharrisllb]

Are there any videos of Kevin? I’m presuming he’s as hard working and talented as Laurine.

[@wanderfood]

[@holgerbehrendt9685]

What temperature you rest your Starter Sourdough?

[@wanderfood]

I think she keeps the starter in the cold store and let it rest at room temperature when she needs to use it.

[@toogeeky4u]

I’ve been to Paris, France 🇫🇷 and I’ve experienced some of the most wonderful pastries 🥐! So delicious 😋! I want to go back one day!

[@mariapilarme]

I know it’s my dream married a French pastry chef and be the tester, 😂 hahaha.

[@wanderfood]

Don't have to be French to be a good baker 😂

[@wanderfood]

Yeah it's fantastic. Go back just for that!

[@ОксанаКирилюк-м3з]

[@debo4706]

This video is great ,but you could have translated what she was saying .

[@wanderfood]

Thank you for the suggestion. When she was talking I usually explain it but not translate it word by word.

[@DanielTeplaykov]

What is the name of the dough sheeter model?

[@wanderfood]

I'm afraid I do not know that

[@rolandpruller1984]

Zopf ❤❤❤❤

[@wanderfood]

thanks

[@mariapilarme]

How much is a croissant in France? In California they asking 6 dollars for one and they are not as great as the French.

[@wanderfood]

😲 expensive!! In France it's about 1-1.1€ so about 1.1$! I live in Japan and here it's about 2$

[@mariapilarme]

@@wanderfood Oh My God we are been taking advantage off. I knew they were very expensive here. Looking to go to Paris soon. Thanks

[@wanderfood]

For sure lol but this is countryside. I assume it's more expensive in Paris@@mariapilarme

[@sorsamang8266]

ok

[@wanderfood]

Thanks

[@ligiasouza3202]

[@wanderfood]

Thank you.

[@ligiasouza3202]

vc,trabalha só pq/não tem ajudante.❤

[@wanderfood]

Thank you.

[@Tarod5]

Chocolatines !

[@wanderfood]

Je dis aussi 'chocolatines' mais je pense que la majorité des personnes en dehors de France ne connaissent pas vraiment le terme. D'où le choix de 'pain au chocolat', que j'ai jamais utilisé dans ma vie ahah

[@Tarod5]

@@wanderfood Elle dit aussi chocolatine à un moment c'est ça qui me fait rire 😅

[@marcg.3666]

This word 'chocolatine' is only from SouthWest. Everywhere else we say 'pain au chocolat'. I was surprised at the beginning, but now I live in Charentes, so I got used.

[@wanderfood]

Thank you. I should have wrote it in English actually so other people can understand@@marcg.3666

[@יעקבכהן-כ8י]

I am interested in the recipe and not in the advertisement, no please write in the answer

[@kroyweb6584]

Pain chocolate!

[@wanderfood]

thanks

[@brendachew3769]

she should wear an apron and a hair net . those clothes are worn outside and to the bathroom . you can't bake for people if you don't do it in a sanitary way. how many hairs are in the pastry .

[@maggiedoor6093]

I am surprised she doesn't wear a hair net too.

[@anymisscall9190]

Agree

[@raoulvolfonix]

Thanks for your input Karen

[@jafarfaraj5528]

Brilliant 👏 but get some help to improve your business

[@wanderfood]

The video was shot a few months earlier, I believe they have some apprentices now

[@smoker_joe]

Stop trying to improve everything. Just let the things as they are.

[@RaniaGinos]

Very bad and not clean enough for bakery. she supposed to wear sanitized clothing and gloves but I don’t know if i should buy bread from her
