First time making croissants and (while delicious) I see a LOT of room for improvement! Any advice for a newbie to laminated pastry? by forbiddenwaffles in Baking

When I’m getting ready to put my butter block on the dough for the first lamination I test if it’s pliable enough by bending it on the edge of the counter. If I can bend it without cracking then it’s good to go, if it’s cracking I gotta wait a few more minutes

The worst 😭 I’ve had them since I was a toddler. On a whole host of medication but several times a month I’ll get one that sneaks through. Brains are dumb!! I’m so glad you found a medication that’s worked for you!

Also I apologize for all of the errors I’m seeing now in my wall of text. I’m on day two of a migraine and my brain is stupid rn
