    I made Croissants today based on this recipe and they turned out gorgeous. So delicious. Crunchy, flaky, buttery. Idk what else to say. Thank you so much Chef. I feel like I am eating a French Hotel's Croissant.

    Hello Bruno, it took me a while to find your channel but I absolutely love it. After a long search I have decided to use your recipe to make croissant from scratch for the first time and they came out absolutely wonderful. I followed it to the letter, with a long ruler on my side to make sure i got all the measurements perfect. I woke up at 5 in the morning to have the croissants ready for lunch time. They were beautiful, puffed, flaky and absolutely delicious, will do it again for sure.
    In the meantime, if you read this, just know that I love your style and your presentation and the recipes you present are a constant inspiration. All the best!

    My boyfriend and I made this recipe by first activating Active Dry Yeast with water and sugar, according to package instructions, and then adding the yeast liquid to the flour, sugar, water, etc. called for in Bruno's recipe. I hope it's okay with Bruno, but I have typed up the dialogue from the video and my understanding of his instructions. The croissants turned out AMAZING and we love Bruno as a result! Hope this is helpful!
    Croissant Pure Beurre Recipe by Chef Bruno Albouze
    ua-cam.com/video/2OAUM0MRgQw/v-deo.html
    Makes 12-14 croissants
    Ingredients
    Dough
    1 cup (250g) water at 77 degrees F
    2 packets (4 tsp/14g) active dry yeast (plus additional water and sugar to activate, as indicated on package)
    3.5 cups (500g) unbleached bread flour
    3 tsp. (12g) kosher salt
    1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
    6.5 Tbsp. (100g) softened, unsalted butter- recommend European-style cultured butter
    Tourage (folding and turning process)
    16.5 Tbsp. (250g) softened, unsalted butter- recommend European-style cultured butter
    Fillings/Toppings/Etc.
    1 egg (for eggwash)
    Don't forget: parchment paper, plastic wrap
    Optional: nutella, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, mushrooms, chocolate, etc.!
    Instructions
    Day 1
    1. Activate yeast in small bowl according to directions on package. (Make sure water is temperature indicated on package- not too hot or too cold- and wait for it to foam and bubble.)
    2. In large bowl, mix flour, sugar and salt with your fingers.
    3. Add and mix in the activated yeast mixture as well as the additional 1 cup 77 degree F water.
    4. Knead in the 6.5 Tbsp. butter with hands until just combined
    5. Transfer dough to work surface without any additional flour. Knead (use your palm to smash the dough and fold it in half together again repeatedly) for a total of about 5 minutes.
    6. Let rise, covered with plastic wrap or towel, at room temperature (75 degrees F is ideal) for 2 hours, or until dough doubles in size. *See end of step 8 for option.
    7. Dust work surface and the dough with flour. Deflate dough with palms and pat it into the shape of a rectangle. Fold into thirds like a letter, Rotate 90 degrees and fold into thirds like a letter again. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
    Day 2
    8. Create butter slab: put 16.5 Tbsp. softened butter in 7" x 8" plastic Ziploc bag. Roll flat. Let chill briefly in fridge then cut out of bag. Important: you want butter slab to be the exact same consistency/firmness as the dough once you take it out of the fridge. Bruno recommends letting the butter slab sit for 45 minutes at room temperature before rolling into the dough, but use your judgment because it could take much less time (a few minutes?) to match dough's softness/consistency. (*Option: you may want to make the butter slab the day before and let it chill in fridge for a while- pun intended- in which case you would need to let it sit out longer on day 2 than if you had just recently used the softened butter to create the slab.)
    9. Put dough on floured work surface and roll into 15" x 7" rectangle. Put butter slab atop one half of dough and fold dough over it until dough edges meet, like a book.
    10. Tap rolling pin over dough-butter sandwich and roll from center to create 24" x 8" rectangle. Sweep off any excess flour. Fold 1/3 of dough onto itself. Fold single layer over until it just meets the double layer edge (kind of like an envelope you created then closed the flap of).
    11. Roll out a bit to flatten. Fold dough in half like a book.
    12. Roll dough to 24" x 8". Fold left 1/3 over dough and right 1/3 over that, like a letter.
    13. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate on baking sheet for 1 hour. Crack one egg and beat with a very small pinch of salt to create egg wash; set aside. Prepare any fillings or toppings now so you can assemble croissants quickly.
    14. Cut dough in half; put other half in fridge in plastic wrap. Dough should always stay cold while you work with it, so be quick. On very, very lightly floured surface, roll to 18" x 9" rectangle, 1/8" or 3mm thick.
    15. Use chef knife to cut into 6 isosceles triangles without points on the narrow ends. Add fillings if you wish. Roll up and place on greased parchment paper. Brush with egg wash. Do the same with the other half of the dough that's still in the fridge! :) (Note: you can leave assembled, rolled croissants in the fridge for up to 12 hours before rising and baking if you want.)
    16. Let rise at room temperature 2.5-3 hours until puffed up and spongy.
    17. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Gently brush croissants with egg wash again right before baking. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes. Turn heat down to 375 degrees F and bake an additional 12-15 minutes.
    18. Cool a tiny bit on wire rack and ENJOY!!!

    I let the water and yeast sit for about 8-10 minutes until it bloomed meaning it activated then added it to the dry ingredients. I put the dough in a large container, covered it with plastic wrap and put it in the oven (turned off, just closed door) to prevent any air from going in. The dough doubled in size beautifully without any trouble.

    I have made these amazing Croissants several times and they are incredible and delicious! It's all about using high quality ingredients, from the flour to the European style butter, just like Bruno suggests. This video is comical, informative and very easy to follow. I once made these for a friend who was born and raised in France, having lived above a family owned French bakery. She said these tasted just like those wonderful croissants from her hometown bakery. Bruno gets the credit for a fantastic recipe and the joy these brought my friend. :)

    • @yujinjang5077

      How do you keep the butter from breaking up inside the dough?

    • @donnawatson3120
      @donnawatson3120 4 роки тому +2

      If the butter breaks, it's too cold. It should be chilled to where a finger imprint can still be seen, but not to warm where its too soft or melted. I usually take mine out about 15-20 minutes before, depending on how warm the kitchen temp is.

    Bruno, thanks for posting this! I made these for the first time over the weekend. I have no training in the culinary arts; I teach high school English. This recipe and method worked great. Careful attention to temperatures and technique plus a bit of patience will yield good results. I have had my share of great croissants all over Paris, Brittany, and Normandy, and the aroma from the oven triggered some very fond memories. My family is pleased enough with my first attempts that they are already asking when I will make them again.
    For those interested, I used what I had available to me in my area: King Arthur bread flour, Fleischmann's active dry yeast, and Land O' Lakes unsalted butter. I can only imagine how much better they will be when I get better quality butter and a bit more practice.

    Fantastic recipe!!! It actually took me 3 tries to get it right. I still have a bit of a problem with the butter spilling off in one or two small spots, but I'm getting a little better every time I do this.
    I went to Paris a few weeks ago and I just loved the croissants over there, the taste is so different to what you get where I live (Phoenix, AZ). There is no comparison, so when I got back I started looking for a true French recipe, this is the one!!!!
    I must have watched this video 100 times already trying to pick up every little detail. I made this for my whole family in Thanksgiving (3 batches), my birthday party a couple weeks ago (3 batches) and Christmas (4 batches), plus a few individual batches for me and my family, my kids love it, even my wife, who doesn't like croissants liked them. I have made this recipe and added chocolate chips, it tastes fantastic!!! I also tried adding strawberry pie filling and cherry pie filling during my Christmas batch and they were the sensation of the party!!!! I will be doing more for New Year's since everyone in my family loved this recipe!.

    I tried this in my small oven. Instead of butter, (because ordinary Filipino people cannot buy butter like me...lol!) I used "Star Margarine Sweet Blend". I used also iodized salt and it's okay. Just follow the procedure as Chef Bruno says. It tastes good as well. I also used all purpose flour as well.

      How much butter there? In Malaysia popular brand like buttercup cost rm4.50 for 250g?

    • @m27g
      @m27g 9 років тому +1

      womba wombi 250 grams of butter in the PH is around 100 PhP (~2.2 USD).
      Oh and Buttercup is margarine. There are vegetable oils in the ingredients list. It's intentionally misleading marketing.
      Rule of thumb is: If there is no "Butter" in the name then it's not butter. "Buttery", "Butterlicious", "Butterfresh", "Buttercat/dog/bee" don't count. Price is sort of an indicator too.

      @idiotsucks2 9 років тому +1

      womba wombi I've been cheated too. Malaysia's buttercup has cheated me for years. It's cheap for a reason - it is margarine, not butter. Seek for Golden Churcn/Lurpak brand.

    You have by far simplified this process with your BEAUTIFUL methodology!! Just beautiful! I can't wait to try. I'm new at baking and do EVERYTHING by hand. The only tools I have are measuring cups,spoons. I've now successfully made dinner rolls( It took two tries as I didn't strengthen the glutens enough the first time) cheesecakes and my proudest moment has been the pie crust ( for pies, but I was elated to finally get this one right). It was flaky, and amazing. It has inspired me to try crescents. I've watched many videos. I am excited to try after watching yours. I can do it!! I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks.

    Love this! It uses simple ingredients and still comes out so delicious! I halved the recipe for my first try for a small sample and it turned out so yummy. The butter is what's key here, so use a good brand that is unsalted. Long process that was worth it.

    Hello I'm so happy I found your videos perfect recipes. I have a question I hope you can explain it so I can finally understand it after searching online only to find people sharing the same frustrating question with no direct answers any were . Please for the love of (God) manotoba flour...... ????? what can I use instead ? . What brand ? We're can I get it in chicago? Is it contained in one bag of flour? Do I need to mix it with different flours to reach the highest protein gluten ? I'm making your croissants today I can't wait. I have made your bread yummo! I'm subscribed and also introduced your site to my mom. She loves your recipes . I was born in Italy and share the passion of cooking. As a child walking to school I ate cornetti and I tried to make them and failed it requires manotoba flour. (Crazy flour) I need to figure this out!!! Help, and grazie.

    • @BrunoAlbouze
      @BrunoAlbouze  9 років тому +21

      Joseph Carzoli Manotoba does not exist. Manitoba does. It seems to be a descent flour but i have not worked with yet. All-purpose and bread flour work as mentioned. King Arthur flours offer consistent product. Voila, hope this help!

    • @sweetk2456
      @sweetk2456 9 років тому +12

      Joseph Carzoli Manitoba flour is an italian flour with a higher protein content, 12 to 15% All p flour has 9 to 12%. In Italy Manitoba is sometimes mixed with their "00" type flour to make pizza dough and it is usually used in the production of artisan breads. As chef Bruno wrote you can find all kind of flours from King Arthur Flour, in Chicago you can find it at the whole foods markets. Hope this can help you. Solo adesso vedo che sei italiano, che bello!
      Arrivederci!

      +Shaira G France isn't the coldest place on earth though, especially down south by the Riviera. Neither are Spain & Italy, nor Argentina. Still, they've been making croissants for ages. The puff pastry technique, which now characterizes the croissant, can be traced all the way back to the 17th century (yr 1680) in France, and possibly earlier. They didn't even have a fridges back then ! lol :D

    • @jamesoren7238
      @jamesoren7238 6 років тому +3

      All baking in warm countries takes some getting used to. Here in australia our christmases are about 38C+ - so I have to make my shortcrust for mince pies at 3am when it's only 25C. You can use A/C, but I find it takes so long to get all the heat out of the bench it's not really worth it, plus near Christmas someone always has the oven going lol. For these I looked at the timing and did all the work in the evening and morning, it was a lot easier

      I've made croissants using almond milk and coconut milk both turned out great. I never know if butter falls into the dairy family but I made my own butter and that was tricky, but possible. I added a 1/4 teaspoon of butter flavor to keep the taste.

    • @nanaflan3667
      @nanaflan3667 10 років тому +1
