        What a wonderful post, Abdallah! I loved seeing how you combined the Danish and classic croissant, and thank you for sharing the proportions you used—it really shows the care and technique in every detail! The photos capture that perfect crispy outside and soft, airy inside that makes you want to take a bite right away. And that cream cheese and strawberry purée combo… absolutely delicious!

        Which of the two doughs did you feel more comfortable working with? I’m really curious to know which one you prefer when it comes to sweet fillings.

        ✨ By the way, tomorrow a new pastry challenge kicks off on Scoolinary—perfect if you love desserts and want to earn points for the Masters Game.

          @Sussan Estela Olaya Hi,

          Danish dough is more challenging to work with, especially when hand-laminating. However, I prefer Danish over classic pastry for sweet fillings, as its naturally sweeter flavor pairs perfectly with them.

            @aa-bashagmail-com Great response, Juan! It totally makes sense that you prefer Danish dough for sweet fillings—its naturally delicate flavor pairs perfectly with them. And the fact that you laminated it by hand makes it even more impressive!😊

                    Thank you for your kindness.

                This Croissant Patch isn’t just a bake — it’s a masterclass in precision, technique, and passion, Abdallah Albasha 🥐🔥 Your detailed breakdown of hydration, lamination methods, fermentation, and flavor pairing shows a deep understanding of viennoiserie and the intentionality behind every step. The crumb structure, glaze, and shape speak for themselves — and that Danish with strawberries is pastry boutique material!
