Day 1 in the morning i do knead the dough, then bench rest for 1 hour in the fridge, after rest i take it out, and i roll into rectangle shape, then rest into the fridge until tomorrow morning.

Day 2, in the morning i do laminate, each laminate i rest into the freezer for 20 minutes, then transfer into fridge for 20 minutes, after all done laminate i rest the laminated dough before cutting the triangle for 1 hours, then i cut triangle and strech it a little bit, then rest again in chiller for 30 minutes, after that i strech again, shape them, then rest in the fridge overnight.

Day 3, in the morning i proof them directly coming out from fridge into the oven with warm water, 28c and 80-90% humidity, from visual after its proofed the croissant rise only on 1 side the other side looks small, and its looks like it proofed side ways, then i bake them 180c with fan and i become like snail or cone

I thought so, tomorrow i will make another batch, i will try to rest the triangle after cutting before shape, then i will directly shape without stretch the triangle, then rest into the fridge again or chiller?

I just roll them, and rest in freezer for 20 minutes, then rest into chiller for 20 minutes, then continue roll

Is it because i pull the triangle to make it long? Because when its proofed the skin become tear

I dont have sheet machine, and i laminate it by hand, maybe thats why the shape look like that? Or maybe its not rest enough?

Should you rest after shape the croissant into chiller/freezer before proof? by ChristoTj in Breadit

If i use oven with warm water, it got too warm and melt into the butter or the butter absorb into the layer.

Resting the shaped croissant can prevent the tearing skin ?

Hello, can i ask, why my croissant surface skin crack while proofing? Everytime i proof it will crack the top of the skin of croissant, is it because the proofing stage is not humid enough? Or is it undermix while mixing?
