      Hello, here is a picture of croissants I just baked, learning to make laminated dough. There are things I need to improve, but they turned out very tasty 🙂

          🙂 Thank you! I’m currently focusing on butter lock-in and proofing, which is quite challenging in home environment with constantly changing temperatures and humidity.

            @ilze You’re absolutely tackling the two trickiest parts—and doing it with amazing results already! 💪 Butter lock-in and proofing are such delicate stages, especially in a home kitchen where conditions can be unpredictable. But that just makes your progress even more impressive!

            By the way, make sure to stay tuned this coming Monday… we’re launching a new challenge that’s going to be big. Let’s just say, it involves a pastry legend you might already admire 👀 You won’t want to miss it!

                Those croissants 🥐 look beautiful, Ilze!

                I can really see the care you put into the lamination, and that golden shine is just stunning,I’m sure they taste amazing too.

                Tell us, what was the most challenging step or the part that gave you a bit more trouble while making them? I’d be happy to share a tip for your next try.

                  @sussan_scoolinaryteam 🙂 Thank you, Sussan! The trickiest were rolling the dough in home environment and dealing with temperatures for both, rolling and proofing.
                  I concluded that I cannot cut the dough sides when laminating, otherwise butter gets squeezed all over when I try to roll it again and after laminating ( before rolling and shaping croissants) I have to put the dough in the freezer, not the fridge, so that it gets really cold and that way stays stiff for a bit longer when I’m rolling it.
                  Now the challenge is to find out how to tell when the croissants have sufficiently proofed – not just when they have increased in size and are puffy on the outside, but also when the dough insi, in the middle e is ready and will also puff when baked.

                    @ilze Great insight, Ilze! It’s clear you’re really getting a good feel for how the dough behaves in your environment. Using the freezer is a smart move to help control the temperature. You’re on the right track, and I’m sure you’ll master that proofing stage very soon. Keep it up , you’re doing an excellent job!

                  They look absolutely delightful! 🥐✨ Laminated dough is no easy feat, and the fact that they turned out tasty is already a huge win
