Hi all, I was invited to post here to share my first time croissant making journey😉 A little introduction…I have been baking at home for a few years now, on and off, mostly baguette and sourdough, inspired by my family who just love bread 🥖. And finally I’m taking on the challenge making CROISSANT! I kinda messed up at proofing stage as my proofing box was too hot (I missed that important note on my recipe!!!) and the butter was leaking out when I checked on them at 1 hour proofing mark (I was too frustrated and didn’t take pictures of that mess…lol). Didn’t know exactly what to do I just took it out immediately and tuck them into the fridge right away hoping the stop the “bleeding”. I then took them out after an hour and let them proofed on countertop at room temperature for additional 2-3 hours and baked them according to the recipe. To my surprise, they turned out much better than I expected because they leaked some butter and I thought they would be flat.😋 so I guess I saved them just on time…haha. Sharing some photos here. I’ll definitely try again! Everyone enjoy your baking experience!!

Thanks for having the courage to share the result of your first croissant journey what an achievement!
The crumb structure shows airy pockets and a promising lamination, especially considering the butter mishap. The exterior is beautifully golden, with visible layers and an appetizing shine.
Which part of the process did you enjoy the most?
I hope this first experience left you excited to keep exploring the world of viennoiserie!
Thank you for inspiring us with your story you showed that even when things don’t go perfectly, there’s always something to learn and enjoy along the way. -

Croissants are no small feat, and you handled that proofing curveball like a pro. The fact that they still turned out well just shows how resilient both dough and baker can be 😊 Can’t wait to see your next batch ❤
