- Hi friends :) The poolish/sourdough croissant recipe is finally here, Against all odds😂
After many experiments, I settled on the 15% poolish version, I think this recipe has just the right amount of preferments to achieve that sensational flavor without being too tangy.
5-3-2 lamination system is also introduced in the video, featuring an English lock-in, a single fold, and a 2 fold. It actually creates the same number of layers as 3-4-3!
This is a three-day process, takes a little more time and patience, but they're really worth it.

I was gonna say 🤣 EWW
You did wear the same pants tho Lol
😂🤣
🤭🤭🤭🤭
Why not? less laundry lol
Seriously one of the best detailed videos out there!
Thank you :))
I watched a chap in Syria at 0400hrs, hauling around a lump of dough he could barely lift. He layered it and started to produce hundreds of perfect croissants in no time at all. A real artisan!
Thanks Benny for the best croissant tutorial on UA-cam. My croissants came out amazing today and more importantly I have a great understanding of how the dough should feel and how to keep the temperature right. Today’s bake was a solid “B+” and I’m sure next time it will be an “A”.
Very satisfying to have something this advanced come out so well.
I'm so glad to hear that😁 Great job!
This was so wonderful and my wife is eternally grateful for you showing me how to make croissants. Thank you for sharing!
You are welcome!😁
Best croissants I have ever made! Used the Breville mixer which fixed my dough problem. The poolish method also helped although I added 235 ml water instead of 160 ml but the dough was okay. Temperature was the next issue. Winter in Queensland the early morning temperature is12 C. Opened the windows and doors to cool down the whole kitchen to 16 C. After all the folds were complete, the dough went back in the fridge for another 24 hours. Next morning I cut the dough in half, leave half in fridge to keep cold, rolled out and cut into triangles, let it rest in the fridge to repeat the other half, then rolled the croissants. After 2 hours proofing, cooked for 10 minutes at 210 C then 10 minutes 190C. Some croissants do not have the lovely even air pockets like yours but I am very happy with this batch. Thank you so much Benny.
I'm happy for you! You are very welcome 🤗
From my college days cooking was just to fill my stomach, I am no more hungry now but seeing your video I just learnt a new hobby of fine arts and precision in baking. Thanks, Benny for the inspiration.
Benny, I love baking. Your video's are the best I have seen. I 'm glad you let your personality come through. I used to feel intimidated by baking but after almost daily baking during the pandemic, I fell in love. Ohh, good job with the plastic. Keep on loving..
Very thankful to you I finally made perfect croscents with your recipe I am trying from about 1 year and finally did this.
Best croissant I have seen. I will have to wake my sourdough starter up from the fridge. It has been a year since I used it last.
Stay home & watch Benny's videos. 🥐🥐🥐 What a relaxing day!
Thank you!😁
Amazing. Once again, thank you for caring about our croissants Benny.
Haha you are very wecome!
You afford to us croissant recipe step by step without hesitating thank you sir
Wow finally some tips for rolling by hand. Thanks Man!
Your croissants are beautiful, your technique and knowledge is on point, the process is interesting as well...and you're funny ! You win everything sir !
Thank you!
The best croissant I ever seen...I will do your recipe! You are the best!! Thanks for all details
You are very welcome 🤗
This is more science than cooking! Lovely video.
Thank you!
I have tried croissants with poolish also few times with few versions and it is same effect in taste if you leave laminated dough in fridge over night if not using poolish. Only difference is butter will go hard and thin layers will break a bit, but still gonna make final layers structure. Maybe a bit more tight/dense. Plus is there will be more butter aroma in dough. So if someone preffer less combinations with poolish but still want more intensive taste and aroma, just skip poolish, then leave laminated dough over night. :)
Movie was great and fun to watch. :) I have enjoyed it very much. Cool work. :) Never tried to make croissants without milk, always mixing 1/2 of water with 1/2 of full milk. Gonna have to try this method. I susspect it will make flavour less tasty. Fresh full milk is always more tasty then just water without taste, but... Still gonna try. Maybe after my methods will dough will get a bit more milky aroma and taste from butter. :) Anyway, thanks for fun and new point of view. :) Take care and good luck. :)
Thank you!
These look great, I’m on day 2 and the dough looks and feels great. Perfect windowpane. I used colder temps than your calculations and my dough was at 23C when I started the bench fermentation.
Can’t find fresh yeast so I used SAF Gold yeast and the dough is much more expanded and active after just a few hours in the fridge. Hope it will be ok when I start lamination in the morning. Fingers crossed they turn out close to this beautiful, my prior two attempts at croissants were disappointing.
Your videos are excellent and essential for novice croissant bakers, but step by step written instructions would be great in addition to the timestamps. Keep these coming and you’ll have a million subscribers in no time. I would love to see you do a classic French baguette.
Hi, Thank you so much! Wish you good luck with your croissants!
Have you ever thought that you may publish a book? If it happens, I'll be the first one to buy it 😍
I don't know...I like to share my knowledge through a video and I enjoy it🙂 Who knows..maybe in the future, I will!
team fresh yeast indeed :D also I think instant dissolves and ferments a bit faster since it’s a smaller grain but I guess they could be interchangeable.
Oh, Benny, I've been waiting for this for a long time, now I know how to spend my weekend!!!
Sorry for the wait!
One of the best tutorials on croissants! Thank you!🙏
Thank you!
Well done
Many thanks for your effort and professionalism
Greetings from Palestine 🇵🇸
Thank you!
For anyone interested, the second song in the video seems to be "When I Was a Boy" by Tokyo Music Walker.
So I'm a croissant guru I mean Im in love making baking and eating it. I've tried 6 7 different recipes including Johan Martin's and your 100% milk recipe. This recipe is the crispiest and tastiest of all! Thank you!
I am getting more confused with types of preferment dough. N I found urs. Thank you so much, it help me.
You're welcome ☺️
Thank you for your great technic !!
I really like your content, i learn a lot from them. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Ok! I decide to try this recipe!!! I watch you from start since last year until now. I can see you did lot of researching. Make it more complicate recipe but result is show much better. Thank you for sharing.
OMG! I love croissants, I can have it with coffee every morning for the rest of my life!
Haha I can too! :))
Pas de problème chérie moi aussi j'adore les croissants avec un café nous sommes faits pour nous rencontrer.
PS : et plus si affinités.
🎖️In each video my amazement leaves no room to doubt the experience of this veteran of the pastry shop ... God granted him the faculty and skill so that his knowledge could be shown to the world with the gentle demonstration that he offers us in his videos, which I catalog them as a premium ... 1,000
I like it 👍for him ... greetings from Venezuela.🇻🇪
Thank you!
that s so very tasty ..fantastic recipe....thanks so much for showing and sharing … a big like and a
Thank you so much 🥰
Learn more from your videos, also a lot of fun, thanks so much!
You are very welcome 🤗
I use waxed paper to form my butter block. I think it helps to use less plastic
thank u chef .you teach me .Im single mother .imake sandwich for costomers .thank you for teaching .🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
You're welcome :)
This is just outstanding!!!
Congratulations
Greetings from Panama city, Panama
Thank you very much!🙂
Wonderful croissants, the stages and how to cook them are very good. My regards
You are very welcome😃
WOW no words!!!! thank you so much for this video
Today is my first day lol! But I feel this time the croissants I’m gonna get it right, and your videos are so professional and funny 😄 I love them. I have made other recipes and I feiled many times but not this time!
Good luck! You can message me on Instagram If you want to ask questions.
Great tutorial - the explanations given are excellent! 🤩 Not talking about the sense of humour, I laughed out loud watching it! Although I am right in the middle of making croissants with yeast - pastry rest in the fridge for the last ~40 minutes now, I am going to try the sourdough version as we have it and use it for bread at home. The 5-3-2 fold method seems to be cool and absolutely working :-) Thanks! 👍😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
I laughed 🤣 when I saw that bag of frozen dumplings. I have done that a few times myself hahaha. Hey, it works!!!
And when that one croissant rolled, I held my breath!!! Hahaha. We can all relate to that.
Thanks for another amazing video. I have become obsessed with layers too!!!
You're welcome 😄 I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
How did I miss this! Dang it UA-cam. Gonna try this one this weekend.
Nice vid. Can you please make some short vids on techniques. Would like to see properly roll out the dough.
I will :)! Thanks for the suggestion!
I have been using the same bag of dry yeast kept in a zip lock in the veggie drawer of my fridge for.... 3 years? Works fine.
Absolutely the best crossiant tutorial out there! Thanks @Bennysbaked !
I'd give this one a try.
For practicing, I would want to down-scale the amounts. What changes I need to do for the butter block shape size if I use half of the weighted ingredients in recpie?
What are the other factors I need to be changed and how?
You got the best looking croissants!
Thank you 😋
I really enjoy your channel and recipes, specially this one with sourdough, ty! 🌹
I'm glad you enjoyed it 🤠
I have to tell you... you are a mazing. Now I go to make you're poolish, And tomorrow I have to try your method .. well done👏
Thank you!
OMG you go full scientist for days to make this eaten by 5 seconds
Worth it 😃👌
We miss you, Chef!
Benny nice croissant you brake all the schools of Europe on croissant making .
U are a true Master, love your work!😀
Thank you 😌
الوصفه جدا رائع شكرا لك ع شرحك المبسط
سؤال عندي طحين ١١/٥عملت كرواسون لكن اصبح فطيره 😂 ماالسبب
I love fresh yeast too and have memories of using it long ago but just FYI I've lived in three states in the United States, in California for 30 years in a somewhat well to do area and have never ever seen fresh yeast. I believe the only people that ever see it are restaurants who use special purveyors. Fresh yeadt can't be found in any grocery stores even high-end stores that I've seen here in California. It's a real shame too. So I buy 1lb instant yeast SAF and freeze what I don't immediately use
Benny I’m in the process of trying this recipe. It’s a lot harder than you make it look. But I’m going to learn and keep trying!!
Practice makes perfect! Don't give up!
Those look amazing as always.
Thank you!
amazing!!!
Thank you!
Wow thank you for sharing, very detail information. For me as beginner 🤗🤗🤗
You're welcome!
Looking forward to making these!
I've always wanted to use my sourdough starter in something other than sourdough bread.
Sourdough pancakes😂
@@Bennysbaked LOL I like to make sourdough pancakes with my discard every week.
@@Bennysbaked I make discard starter waffles all of the time!!
@@MichaelRei99 How does it taste? Sour?
Thank you so much for your dedicated time and effort to share with us the joys of a croissant! Have you gotten tired of them yet? Btw I wish you would also include you eating a croissant! As viewers we live vicariously through you so to see you eat it would be a great ending to the story. You don't have to show your face. I mainly just want to see a reaction of you eating the most delicious thing on earth lol
Wow! Amazing job.
Thank you!
Wow. well done
Amazing vídeo. Many thanks!
thank you!
You should definitely think about making a baguette recipe video, I have a feeling they will boujee the boujee-est of baguettes
ThNks for providing great education
You're welcome 😁
They look so perfect. You are a master. I love your videos and your recipes. Love from Pakistan.🇵🇰
Thank you so much😊
What was your room temp?
The most detailed croissant video I've ever seen which that is what I needed. Thank you!
Thank you! 18-20c
You are the best teacher 😁
Thank you!
@@Bennysbaked i hope you to learn a professional and easy way to make pizza dough 😁🌹
wow mission accomplished after 3days
Beautiful and perfect. Thank you.
I have gone over this video many times now. It’s excellent. My first attempt, I must add that yours is near perfection, is a facsimile but much more “rustic”. I would like to know the approximate dimensions you are rolling to in the last book fold. I have gleaned so much from this. Attempting to roll the dough into a rectangle; my attempts at wrapping the dough between folds; and, attempts to be precise in all aspects. I’m awaiting my formation and proofing stage now. It’s been a complete morning project. Have you done a Kouign-amann yet for UA-cam? I would love to see it! Excellent work young man (I’m 74)!
Hi, I'm glad you find my video useful🙂. For the book fold, It's roughly about 90X 30cm, I suggest focusing on the thickness (5mm) instead of the dimensions! And I will definitely make a video about Kouign-amann in the future. Cheers!
If I make a half batch what are the measurements for the butter block and folds?
Thank you for sharing I will do it very soon
Hope you enjoy!
Good job Benny.
Thank you😊
Hi, the cake is delicious, thank you for sharing👍
You're welcome :)
This is amazing!
Cheers!
Woohoo sourdough!
How many attempts did it take before you landed on the version we see in the video? Croissants are such a fun home project because there's always room for improvement.
So many steps and minor details where things can go wrong, but this forces you to truly understand every component in the process!
Well said Victor, croissants are not the easiest thing to make at home without a consistent temperature-controlled environment and tools... About the attempts, I would say 13~15ish? I have to abandon a few doughs halfway due to work🙄 which is a shame
@@Bennysbaked Agreed! I'd love to get a proofer one day but it's a little too expensive for me atm. But I'm glad I've learned how to make croissants in a volatile home environment as it's forced me to understand the goal and objective behind each step. I'm working towards a goal or ideal as opposed to following the recipe steps to a tee. All of a sudden, proofing is ready when it's 'ready' rather than following an exact time specification.
I share your pain and frustration too! Last weekend I made a batch of croissants - fully laminated and fully proofed..and I would go as far as saying it was the best looking batch I'd ever made. And then I dropped them on the ground and they de-gassed.. I tried to salvage them by letting them re-proof again but they ended up rather flat :(
@@vlgr8ter 😲 OH NO! That is heart breaking!!!
I can relate. In my case, as I lifted the cover, it slipped and landed on one of the croissants. It deflated in front of me. 😢
been trial and error a year now.. since the pandemic, probably more than 20 times and still couldnt get theh honeycomb.. and I am in a tropical country with 29-30 C average temp
Thank you for the recipe. Can I use my sourdough discard to make recipe.
No sorry you can't. It will weaken the gluten!
Great video and explanations man! You really deserved my sub!
Thanks for the sub!😀
Hi Benny, wondering if you'd be willing to make public your other croissant video (which is currently private), I find it to be more detailed with the sizes and what not for my process (compared to some of your newer vids). Really appreciate your tutorials; they've been immensely helpful in my pastry making journey!!
Thankyou 👍 great detail 👍
You are welcome ☺️
OMG IM MAKING THESE ASAP
Hello benny , I’m watching you from France ! I love your detailed videos, your results are amazing 🤩
I want to ask you about the 3 fold in this video , you notice that we laminate 4mm thickness but you didn’t notice how much the longer and larger must be after doing the 3folds (to do the 2 fold )? Please ! Have a great day and excuse me for my bad English 🤪
The length of the pastry not important! Focus on thickness🙂
Ha ha ha ! I love the way you show how to.
Thank you :)
Very good job 😘
Wow, stunning croissants. You can maybe try it with pasta madre
Yes it will be delicious ☺️
How long and in what speed do you knead that dough?
More good music. :) Even gave the download link. Nice.
Enjoy!
Fantastic
Excellent, congrats
Cheers!
Mind if we asking where to find proofing devices? Thank you l.
Have you ever experienced croissants breaking or breaking on the rolls at 70% proofing?
what do you think is the reason
If you can make fancy viennoiserie as well.. much appreciate!
Very good, mate
Thanks mate!
How many days can I store the croissant dough before lamination in the refrigerator, while maintaining its full quality?
if you use sourdough starter, do you still need fresh yeast?
Great job mate 👍👍
Cheers!
I love your recipes. thanks for sharing!! have a good day friend. :D
Thank you☺️
