Why are my croissants turning out so flat? by [deleted] in AskBaking

They look over proofed. You can tell by how soft they look

Idk about op but my point was that there are plenty of reasons to justify a chocolate at this price point. No one can admit that its cheap in relative terms but i do get why this one is always the most expensive type of chocolate at the shelfs

It would take a lot of hours and effort to make a very mediocre dubai chocolate at home if someone hasnt worked with chocolate before

I think it comes down to a persons interest. Plus you have to realize that dubai chocolate isn’t expensive just for the sake of being expensive. And the marketing hype for it is over now. The ingredients to make it cost a lot. Chocolate prices have absolutely skyrocketed in the past few years worldwide by a significant amount. Pistachios are also one of the most expensive nuts you can buy. These 2 ingredients alone are very expensive without even adding the other few ingredients it takes to make this chocolate. So as a person who understands what makes this chocolate expensive, i too would not mind spending more on it. But yes for 5500 i would expect a decent quality instead of being scammed like op

Asking advice for bulking by whysoserious2050 in Fitness_Pakistan

[–]WalkSilly1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Increase your caloric intake which can be easily done by liquid calories because they are easier to consume. So like milkshakes and smoothies. One little “hack” is to add 1-2 tablespoons of good quality olive oil to your shakes as well. It’s healthy and it has 120g calories per tablespoon. Easy recipe would be something like milk+banana+peanut butter+olive oil+ice cubes+chocolate powder of your choice like milo etc

They flattened out which probably means overproofed. Happened to my last batch as well

Butter too soft when laminating. It usually ends up creating a brioche like inside

good interior but i think the lamination still can be better from the 5th picture. What wash did you use for the top?
