r/Croissant

No filling added yet

Home-baked and home-stuffed

Alright so as you can see these bad boys went flat, they were fully proofed before baking (jiggly, layers slightly separating, soft to the touch not dense at all) they proofed up nicely during the first half of baking but went so flat during the second. I proofed these from frozen for about 4 hours, they’re really small croissants and they didn’t overproof at all. I’m trying to understand where I went wrong and how they flattened so much. There was a very small amount of butter leakage during baking but nothing out of the norm. I baked at 375f for about 22 minutes in a conventional oven. Any tips or suggestions are much appreciated.

Another weekend, another batch of croissants.

Shoutout to u/croissantfufu for getting those awesome croissants using my recipe!

U/charonill recently posted his croissant recipe developed after four months of trial and error. I followed his recipe and produced my most beautiful croissants to date! I still have much room for improvement, but I’m pretty proud of how far I’ve come. (First several pictures are of today’s bake; the last two are of my first attempt.)

Hearty thanks to u/charonill for sharing his recipe. (This type of information exchange is why I love Reddit!)

Just made my first batch of croissants - and they're vegan!

Looking for feedback on the interior structure.

I cut two open and they look quite different although they're both from the same batch. One looks better than the other. I'm assuming they were slightly underproved.

I was totally intimidated to try laminated dough and thought I had completely failed halfway through, so I'm pretty pleased with the outcome for it being my first time.

Since we have good bread at the bakery but no good croissants, I baked some myself. For the first attempt I am very satisfied!
