  • Half batch of croissant dough

    Posted by Quinny Chiang on August 13, 2024 at 19:18

    Hi there, In the croissant recipe, it includes one batch of croissant and and two batches of bi-color dough. However, I only have a 6 qt. mixer, so at the moment I only want to start with making only plain croissants.

    The croissant recipe calls for 1,350g croissant dough and 500g roll-in butter and the dough to be rolled out to 50cm x 30cm; and the butter 30cm x 30cm. If I cut the recipe in half, the total weight would be 1,334g. I’m thinking of making that into 2 half batches of croissant dough, and for each batch, I use 250g roll-in butter. Would that be okay? And then, what size should I roll out my dough and my roll-in butter to? Or should I just make one full batch of dough? What would be best? Hand rolling for a dough this big might not be very easy. Please advice.

    Hi Quinny Chiang

    Welcome to the Scoolinary community, and thank you for your question.

    For half of the basic Croissant recipe, you will need:

    – 750 grams of flour with 12-13% protein (Gruau Rouge Viennoiserie Flour T45, 12.1% protein)

    – 122 grams of granulated sugar

    – 12 grams of salt

    – 325 grams of whole milk

    – 50 grams of cold unsalted butter

    – 35 grams of fresh yeast (if using dry yeast, use one-third of the amount)

    -For the lamination, you will need 250 grams of butter.

    -For the full recipe, the dough measurements are 50×30 centimeters. For half of the recipe, the butter should measure 21×21 centimeters, and the dough should be a rectangle of 35.5×21 centimeters.

    We hope this information is helpful.

    Best regards.
