Today I got these molds but looks like I picked the wrong silicon molds. It states 60mm in diameter (referenced per Bochur’s recipe) and 30mm in height. Should I buy smaller or this will be ok for my flour croissants?

Hi Sussan,

I was referring to this chef. Not sure but I think he is French chef.

He is making these croissants and I’m trying to achieve the same results that’s why I thought maybe in this community anybody could share some “touch” or relevant “exposure” to these brilliant croissants 😞

[Salma Sali]

Oh I see. I’ll try that out. But if you know those chefs who offer online courses please share as I know many of them do offer onsite classes in Italy, France, Malaysia, China for example. But I can’t go that far:)

anyways thank you so much.

[Salma Sali]

Also do you think I can achieve the same results with the Bachour’s recipe? Or there should be slight editing to it?

[Salma Sali]

What that means? May you please give a little bit more details?

thank you so much for reply ❤️

Sussan,

can I use agar-agar to substitute gellan gum in the flower croissant from Bachour? If yes, should I give the same treat as for nappage or any advice on the ratio? 🙈

[Salma Sali]

Thank you so much. Yes, I added a bit of hot water and in the double boiler I heated it up a bit and after it I used the hand blenders to smooth out the texture. So it did work.

Sussan, this strawberry cream doesn’t seem to be sweet and a bit sour. Also 1kg Mascarpone with the nappage recipe you advised in other chats where 150g of sugar mentioned, I ended up having not enough sweetness to the base cream. With that being said the strawberry cream with its sourness added up to the overall taste, which ended up not really good… so what would recommend? Should I add more sugar into nappage? What should be the ratio fat vs nappage? And is it ok to add more sugar into the strawberry cream? If so what is the best ratio or how much should I add?

Thank you so much

Sussan,

I made it according to your recipe but the problem is that next day it looks so stiff, can I do anything to make it a bit liquidier? So I am able to pipe into the croissant?

[Salma Sali]

Thank you so much for sharing this. May you pleas also advise if I need to put all other ingredients tot and lemon juice while the strawberry pure w agar agar are still hot or I need to wait until it completely cool and only then put other ingredients and blend all together?

[Salma Sali]

Not sure if it’s animal but it says “leaf gelatin w 170bloom”…?

[Salma Sali]

Ok. I got you. Thank you so much.

[Salma Sali]

Thank you Sussan,

I also noticed some changes in the recipe from Antonio’s first croissant classes to his 2nd (where those fancy bow type of croissants). It seems like the same recipe but it changed a bit in weight. Also when I tried the new one from the second croissant videos, my dough became a bit softer not that tough as in his first recipe. And also I reduced a bit of butter for lamination (from 500g to 338g) as to be honest no butter leaking issue faced afterwords.

so with all that being said I still want to try to use bread improver. But in this case with the second recipe of Antonio and butter of 338g for lamination how much of the bread improver should I use?

Sussan,

will this air gun works for our glazing purposes? (Chocolate making, croissant decorating with glazing)

[Salma Sali]

Sussan,

Is it possible to replace this gelatin with something like Kosher gelatin? Or Agar-Agar? If yes please advice any substitutes and the ratio? 🙏

thank you
