Croissant

Overview

Among all the breads 🍞, the only one I love most is croissants. I tried making them for the first time today. I made two batches and it took a long time. But when I saw the results, it was all worth it 😋😋

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare raw materials.

   

2. 2 Remove all raw materials except butter. Add the liquid first and then the bread flour. Make a small hole in the middle and put the yeast. Select a dough mixing program for twenty minutes and start it.

   

3. 3 After the dough mixing process is completed, add softened and cut into small pieces of butter, start another dough mixing process, and knead the dough to the expansion stage until the dough can be pulled out of the film with your hands, and the cracked opening will look like the picture below.

   

4. 4 Put the dough into a container, put it into the oven, and put a bowl of hot water below it (I usually use two-thirds hot water and one-third cold water) and start the fermentation function until the dough rises to two and a half times its original size. Then dip your fingers in flour and poke a hole in the middle of the fermented dough. Just make sure it doesn't shrink or collapse.

   

5. 5 Take out the dough and press to deflate it (deflation is very important) and divide it into eight parts.

   

6. 6 Shape the divided dough into a radish shape, then roll it into a thin triangle and shape it into a horn shape. (Because the shape I rolled out is not good-looking, I didn’t take pictures for you guys.) Then continue to put it in the oven to start the fermentation function, and put a bowl of hot water underneath for about 45 minutes.

   

7. 7 Take out the secondary fermented bread and preheat the oven to 180 degrees for five minutes. Brush a thin layer of egg wash on the surface of the fermented bread. My daughter doesn’t like bread with sesame seeds, but I like bread with sesame seeds, so I put sesame seeds in it and leave it out.

   

8. 8 Put it in the middle rack of the oven at 180 degrees for about 18 minutes. Cover with tin foil when you are satisfied with the color halfway through.
