Hi, @clint-janson
Humidity affects the moisture content of the dough during the baking process. If the humidity level is too high, the dough can become sticky and difficult to handle. On the other hand, low humidity can cause the dough to become dry, dense, resulting in poor texture and flavor. Moisture control ensures consistent dough consistency, leading to better quality baked goods.
I don’t know if it is possible that you can get a thermohygrometer, which is an instrument that is used to measure the temperature and relative humidity of an environment, that would help you control the humidity.
Tell us, do you have a fermentation chamber or how do you ferment your croissant?Greetings.

Hi, @לאה קליין
That light layer that forms when the dough is allowed to dry helps to have a donut with a crispier and smoother crust, helping the glaze look uniform.

You can help me by telling me which course you saw this recipe in.
Is it Dragon Ball dessert?

Hi, @heidi-denney
The Mexican Street Cooking course is a course categorized as having intermediate difficulty, which is why some information such as the one you suggest may be missed.
Normally the oil temperature should be between 160°C and this temperature should be reached within 1 to 2 minutes. For deep frying it will take 4 to 5 minutes to reach that temperature, it is important to have a thermometer to know the correct temperature of the oil.

Hi, @despina-kosti
In the Jams, Jellies and Marmalades course you have the recipe for homemade pectin made from apple or citrus peel.
The proportion to make compotes or jams is 80 grams of homemade pectin per 1/2 kilo of fruit.

Yes, if you can freeze twice, you just have to be careful when defrosting the already formed croissant dough, you must respect the cold chain so that it does not suffer such a sudden temperature shock.

Hi, @yinkabiyi2009
It may be due to the amount of lycopene that some types of pineapple contain. I don’t think it’s a fungus since the pineapple fungus has a different shape and color.

For a good development of dough fermentation, one of the key points or factors is the temperature and humidity in the environment where it is developing. The only way to control this will be with a humidity and temperature meter.
Depending on the climate where we are, the yeast will take different times to reach its fermentation point before being added to the final dough.
If you are fermenting only the yeast, you can put it in a warm place so that it can activate quickly. What is not appropriate is to expose the final product to a higher temperature to be able to ferment the dough in less time.When the fermentation temperature is higher than 30º C, the difference in volume between the inside and outside of the dough becomes noticeable and results in cracking and peeling of the bread. It is not advisable to increase the temperature to reduce fermentation time.

Hi, @anas_subhi
It could also be the vegetable butter you are using.
Remember that depending on how long the flour has been since it was produced, it loses moisture.
A flour that has been on sale or on display for longer needs more liquid and a flour from a more recent production will need less water.
So when we make dough we calculate the liquid little by little, it is not always the same amount for all types of flour.We hope this information is helpful.

Fermentation is the key moment in bread making (if there is any), and one in which temperature plays the most essential role. Yeast, responsible for fermentation, is a living being that develops around 26 degrees Celsius as an optimal point (between 24 and 26 according to other authors).
It must also be taken into account that the yeast will be inactive below 23°C and above 35°C; If it exceeds 60 degrees, the yeast will have died and will not be able to perform its function of leavening.
As for storage (always talking about fresh yeast, of course), 5°C is ideal, and freezing is not recommended.
The temperature when kneading bread
When kneading we must try to stay within the margins prior to fermentation (in principle); something less obvious than it seems.Let’s consider that the kneading temperature is influenced by the temperature of the room, the flour and the water, the latter being the one we can control most easily.
To knead with water at an ideal temperature, we must make a calculation whose starting point is to set the so-called base temperature (if the recipe does not give it to us).
To do this, simply multiply the desired kneading temperature by three; We want to knead at 24 degrees, since 24 x 3 = 72. Easy.
From that data, finding out the perfect water temperature is not difficult by following this formula: Tagua = Tharina + Tlocal – Tbase. That is to say: if we have the flour at 22 degrees and the room at 28, it turns out that 22 + 28 = 50; if the base was 72, then 72 – 50 = 22; that is the perfect water temperature.
It must be taken into account that, due to its very nature of mechanical friction, in the kneading process the temperature increases slightly (between 3 and 12 degrees depending on the mixer used: 3°C for blades, 7°C for arms, 12°C spiral). Therefore, it is advisable to include this variable in the formula to ensure a kneading temperature slightly below the yeast activation thresholds.
We hope this information is helpful.

Hi, @anas_subhi
It depends a lot on the type or brand of mixer you are using, the time is proportional, 8 minutes in a professional mixer has more strength than a home, kitchenaid or one with less capacity and can be seen in the difference in gluten development. You could do time intervals and continue working your dough until you get the gluten network.

Could you tell me which recipe you are referring to so I can review it and help you with the answer.

Of course, if it works for you, it is a perfect machine that you can use to paint with cocoa butter. Just remember that after using your tools, wash them with hot water so that there is no chocolate residue left and the nozzle is not clogged and you can use it another time.

If in that case it is not possible for you to bake them after fermenting.
You can form the croissants and then freeze or refrigerate before the final fermentation. To be able to bake them, if they are refrigerated, leave them for a few minutes at room temperature and then put them in the fermentation chamber and if they are frozen, you must first put your croissants in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, then at room temperature and finally to the fermentation chamber and then You can bake them now.We hope this information is helpful.
