Making Croissants
So I got a little bit more adventurous after my encouraging attempts the previous weekends on the tarts and pies and thought I could attempt Croissants.
Boy, was I wrong.
Croissants are such a pain in the a** to make!! They take forever and I make them look ugly!! Gosh... No recipe to share here. Just sharing how my... er... "Croissants" turned out. Fats are always meant to be shared so I gave some to my sister and she commented that the taste was buttery and quite good but I should just rename my creation and call it "Breadrolls".
And yea she's right cos what the hell, Croissants are supposed to be light, fluffly and soft. Mine is none of that. Guess the right machine and the right experience and skillset is required for creating the $1.20 Croissants that we see in bakeries and gobble down in a heartbeat.
If you ask me, I'll prolly never attempt Croissants again and will spend more time appreciating those that I see out at stores.
P.s.: This whole Croissant making process took me.... 3-4 hours. To roll, to wait for dough to rise, etc etc etc
P.s.s.: Yea, I'm not exactly patient which is why I'm not a full-time baker.
