wow!!!!!!! how was it? did they get god at the end??? they don't look home made at all!!!!
you think it's dificult to make?? I want to try it!!!!!!!!
they look delicious!!!
hey, I think it's not difficult but it takes quite a long long time to do and it requires precision and patience. I forgot to tell that I cover them with a mixture of yolk, water and a bit of sugar before to put them in the oven during about 20 min.
They were good but as a first try I found some details to change the next time (because I'm never satisfied lol) :
- I have to make a maximum of three simple turns in the puf pastry (a simple turn is a folding in three), I don't know what I did but I guess I was in a hypnotic state and lost my counting, then I probably did 6 turns that is too much for a croissant dough.
- I have to add less yeast, and decrease the time of the first rise.
- I have to put a bit of butter in the initial dough (before the foldings)
- and finally I have to let the shaped croissants rise much more before the oven.
It was a really good experience even if it took half a day to make them ;)
If you want I'll give you the steps.
I have to say that I already felt french before but now that I made these croissants I feel more than ever a french ;)
