  • It took over 48 hours, but I finally took up the challenge of making croissants completely by hand, with a little (a lot) of help from croissant expert Chef Dominique Ansel.

      You did great Inga. If you roll the final dough thinner before cutting, they won't fall over.

    They say you have to be quick and precise when making croissants. However, for me, you also have to be brave.
    It's so technical that every novice bakers (and even some experienced ones) cower in attempting it their first time. This is why I have so much respect for those who just takes the first step regardless of the result.

    I think your attitude is perfect. You'll get better at it. It reminds me when I was trying to make baguettes at home without any training and the results were ...not a baguette. Anyways, I got somewhat better but there's just so much depth to the knowledge of these artisans that make the beautiful products we eat.
    As long as you go at it with the right attitude, you'll eventually get there, especially with top instructions.
    I think the fresh levain made the dough rise faster than the poolish would.

    Many years ago I lived across the street from a bakery/cafe that made almost only croissants. I kind of thought they were awfully expensive, having seen what you have to go through to make them, they were a bargain. The bakery is long gone and I have never had a croissant as good as those but the look of the Chef's almost makes me want to travel to have his.

    A trick to keep it from collapsing on its side while proofing is to make a 1-inch cut in the middle of the triangle's wide end and tug the wings out a bit so there's a notch you roll over.
    Widens the whole thing and creates a small air gap that will ensure more even baking in a conventional oven.
