    I’m from the U.S. I can’t seem to tag anyone through the mobile site so sorry for the general reply. Also I can’t upload photos. Every time I try it says I’m not allowed to upload “this file type”. I used King Arthur bread flour which is 12.7% gluten. My croissants looked pretty good but the dough layers were too crisp and dense. I think maybe the high gluten content and low hydration may have led to this. My dough was very tight and not very extensible. I have had good results in the past using King Arthur all purpose flour (11.7% gluten) and about 16% higher hydration.

    The recipe given is very dry (50% hydration), especially with instant yeast. I had to add more milk or my dough would have been a brick.

    I’m using a Samsung Galaxy S21. The file format I’m trying to upload is jpg so Maybe I don’t have the right permissions or something? Not really sure. I didn’t know there was an app so I’ll download it and give it a shot.
