i bake all the time but... never breads. i'm so scared of the whole yeasty process of letting it rise and whatnot. i can't do it. if i bake a bread it's banana bread, which doesn't have yeast or need to rise... 😅
I made some yeast based puff last weekend... but I made it Friday night fir Sunday breakfast 😋. Unfortunately the yeast activated in the fridge over the two days a d the results wernt great. I'd say you've to bake yeast based puff on the day of making
it’s crazy how so many things while baking look like you horribly messed up until it just looks perfect. _it’s really fun when you have anxiety and like to bake_
I’m studying to be a baker and It’s my second year. I’m used to using machines to thin my dough after layering and using special butter but I still mess up sometimes. But here you are, doing everything with your own hands and they look so good. I’m really proud of you, anxiety makes us do everything perfect so Please don’t ever feel like you shouldn’t be worrying. That’s the only way they turn out so good :)
"...they're still really nice." 🥺 Thank you. I really needed this advice. I'm so afraid of forking up to the point of having the difficulty to start anything.
I feel the same way when I make a loaf of sourdough. Will it rise? Did I use too much starter? Will the bottom be too hard? But then somehow it always turns out great! As long as you don't give up it just seems to work! 😎
Baking is a science so take it from a food scientist, the only real way to mess up bread is to forget the salt. It's like the only thing you cannot correct and it comes out inedible. I'd say yeast is important but you'll find out very quickly the yeast isn't working, you can get through the whole process before you realize there's no salt 😭
I am French, and my mom always makes the best croissants, or we’ll we mostly make pain au chocolat, but sometimes not. They are so amazing 🤩 yours look really good. Love from Lyon
Thank you for that life lesson. I have an exam coming up and honestly I do fine in my preparation, still for some bad memories I always get afraid that I'm going to mess up. Even the minute mistakes terrifies me to the point that I think "can I really do it?", which is really irrational given that even with those mistakes my results won't be terrible. We all need to remember, it's okay to chase perfection but don’t get too caught up on that. At the end, you will have imperfection on your works but trust me, it's fine. The fact that you tried your best is enough.
I saw the whisk you were using and immediately got happy. My mother was gifted the same Danish whisk and we all love using it. I understand the anxiety that comes with baking, and you can't always make it go away. But whenever it's there, just stop and tell yourself "I'm full of shit, I've got this".
The first time I laminated dough I felt like a rock star. 😂 The first bite of that warm braided strawberry cream cheese danish was possibly the best bite ever. So many crispy, buttery layers. ❤️
Omg the way you described cooking anxiety is exactly how I feel whenever I bake something! Even if it’s something I’ve made like 1000 times, like choux pastry I still get nervous. But you’re right, usually in the end it all turns out fine
Don't be fooled, it's probably one of the most time consuming and active labour heavy baked goods. It takes hours to rise, fold and rest so many times and you have to be careful not to get it too warmed up while folding because then the butter will melt and the layers will fuse together and you won't get that perfect texture. Still very satisfying when it comes out right. I both do and do not recommend it.
i feel the exact same when i make croissants despite making them dozens of times but i think that means i make sure to make them better and better each time as well :)
Mary, I just followed your sourdough starter and bread tutorials and made my first sourdough loaf. I was sure I’d mess it up but I didn’t and it worked so well. Thank you!!
ive been watching for 7 or 8 years, since i was in middle school. thank you so much for the laughs and the comfort. youve always kept me entertained, no matter the era. i hope the years ahead do great things for you, congrats on 15 years
im a new subscriber and i just wanted to let you know that im attempting to make a starter because of you 🥰🥰 i love baking and last year, i started to learn how to make bread. ive been wanting to make a sourdough starter for a while but i didnt know where to start. i used to be so scared of messing it up, but idk, watching this channel and hearing your stories made me realize that its better to mess up and improve on it than to just stay scared and do nothing 😭😭 hopefully i dont fail too badly (or at all but that would be wishful thinking)
the beauty of croissants is that none of them are “perfect” just like people. it gives variety and personality, even if some come out as a disaster, you learn from the experience and get a really funny looking end result in the process
This is how I feel whenever I bake. I get nervous each time even when I use the same recipe. And some people ask me to sell my baked goods and it just gives me anxiety thinking that I’d mess it up somehow and how won’t taste the same.
I feel this bc I made macarons for the first time last week and was very excited yet nervous. I ended up over mixing the batter so they were a little flat but they still tasted great!!
This is what anxiety feels like to me. You described it perfectly! No matter how many times i have excellend doing something i will always be in the back of my mind worrying im not gonna make it.
Excellence is not perfection! You put your valuable time and talent into those! Enjoy and share! It may be the best thing the have eaten in months and baking for someone may be their love language to receive food you made!
I love little imperfect foods if it makes you feel any better, especially when it comes from someone or a local bakery. Usually means it was made by hand and not mass produced. Your croissants look bussin, I'd eat them all
I can't even tell you how much I relate to this. I starting crying yesterday while making these fancy rolls that I thought I ruined but they actually turned out okay
Baking is so hard for me , I gave up after 3 attempts 😭 the anxiety is real I would stay in front of the oven the whole time to see if it rises or not , sometimes would take it out and it's uncooked or overcooked I can't do it for the life of me
I resonate so much with this! I have only ever made croissants twice! living in a very hot and humid region, it makes working with them a nightmare. I always worry that I just wasted all the ingredients because I wasn't patient enough

🥰🥰🥰
I love u
How much butter and yeast you put??
Can you mention the measurements please at least on the comments 🙏
Yeast cannot die unless you give it a condition rhey cannot survive in
What oven setting do you use? Up or down?
I am afraid of baking… period…
This may be the best comment I’ve ever read 😅
Cause it’s a baking channel and cause I agree 😂
i bake all the time but... never breads. i'm so scared of the whole yeasty process of letting it rise and whatnot. i can't do it. if i bake a bread it's banana bread, which doesn't have yeast or need to rise... 😅
I fear no recipe, not even pastries, but yeasted bread scares the shit outta me lol. I even panic making cinnamon roles
@@TenderNoodle it’s really easy actually lol. I grew up with my mom making homemade bread and helped a lot, it’s a lot easier than you think!

My one teacher at culinary school always said that croissants are french for "anxiety". And I definitely don't disagree
Love this

Love the life lesson at the end. Life is rarely perfect but just because it isn't perfect doesn't mean it's not good.
as Voltaire once said, "perfect is the enemy of good"
it’s crazy how so many things while baking look like you horribly messed up until it just looks perfect. _it’s really fun when you have anxiety and like to bake_
I manage my anxiety by cooking. Hard facts 😂
It's such a fun little game💀
Not fun though.
Same with painting!
The last sentence just chilling in italics 🤨📸
As a french, I find that your croissants look really good ! Don't stress yourself because of this, every french like their croissants imperfect.
That’s very kind to say. The French are known for pastries. This bread is beautiful.
I second that, as another fellow French. A croissant will always be delicious to someone who loves them also 😌😌
@@superior_cream_puff7798 le seul problème c’est la forme🤷🏻♀️
@@BlahBlahBlahBlahhh880 Honnêtement, dans tous les cas je le dévore le croissant 😂

Cooking is just about the only thing I am fully dedicated to doing no matter how hard it may be to get right

@@thehamstershow7399 its easier than you think.
It's very hard to screw up so badly that you yourself won't like to eat it.

They are lovely. I like the way you narrated the story of your croissant making
I saw the whisk you were using and immediately got happy. My mother was gifted the same Danish whisk and we all love using it. I understand the anxiety that comes with baking, and you can't always make it go away. But whenever it's there, just stop and tell yourself "I'm full of shit, I've got this".
"I didn't know that yeast could die"
Wait. They do?
It's alive. If it's left at room temperature too long without food, it will die. That's why it's good to store yeast in the freezer.
Loved the fact that this ended up being an anecdote to life. Although it might not go to the way you plan, it still ends up well :)

As a French, I can tell your croissants look really good !
The crisp sound when you squeeze the croissant 🥐 makes my mouth water... pure heaven 🤤✨🤍
Glad to see that person who opens their heart to say something that isn't obvious by looking.
Love your videos man, such a damn soothing voice haha
The crunch is like that one ratatouille scene 🤤🥖🤏🤤
Probably cat litter.
At this point might as well crown baking the rocket science of culinary
As a Frenchman, I’m pretty damn impressed at how those turned out, you’ve burnt the outside a bit but the inside looks about right!
You made that look so easy lol. I wanna make these so bad cus they are expensive to buy 😩
Don't be fooled, it's probably one of the most time consuming and active labour heavy baked goods. It takes hours to rise, fold and rest so many times and you have to be careful not to get it too warmed up while folding because then the butter will melt and the layers will fuse together and you won't get that perfect texture.

A “bad” is better than best ready made bread by a huge margin! They look awesome! Please share them, we need to remember how good baking really is!❤
Every time I see your wonderful videos, Im praying for you and your dad. You are seen and cared about.
Me making croissants: Turns into uncooked pancake
Mary, I just followed your sourdough starter and bread tutorials and made my first sourdough loaf. I was sure I’d mess it up but I didn’t and it worked so well. Thank you!!
ive been watching for 7 or 8 years, since i was in middle school. thank you so much for the laughs and the comfort. youve always kept me entertained, no matter the era. i hope the years ahead do great things for you, congrats on 15 years
thank you, this is my happy food. the bowl of water really helped me. I m gonna bake now.
That first “i am afraid” was for the croissant as it was about to be eaten 🤭
im a new subscriber and i just wanted to let you know that im attempting to make a starter because of you 🥰🥰

You are afraid, but after watching this vid...I am inspired...danke ☺️
You seem like such a kind person! I love your videos!
This video was incredibly soothing to watch and listen to

❤❤❤ now I want to try making them myself. They look so good btw
The sudden cat head😂
I had to watch again to see that😂😂
I like the cat coming to inspect at the start
those look so good
That last little quote was beautiful 🥰
GIRL!!! They are PERFECT!!!
This is how I feel whenever I bake. I get nervous each time even when I use the same recipe. And some people ask me to sell my baked goods and it just gives me anxiety thinking that I’d mess it up somehow and how won’t taste the same.
I love love love watching the process ofyou making croissants
BRO I LOOK LIKE EL FROM STRANGER THINGS

Nah
Bruh get the cat off the table, that shit's disgusting
I feel this bc I made macarons for the first time last week and was very excited yet nervous. I ended up over mixing the batter so they were a little flat but they still tasted great!!

I feel like this is low key bragging about making difficult pastries. 😂
They look super perfect!
Ha, ha....me too! And they DO always come out beautifully....and taste splendid. :)
Your baking is great. But your last words are what got me. Thanks for reminding me.👍👍
The cat doing a surprise quality check
Croissants intimidate me too much, well done for putting in the time and effort to make these incredible finicky little pastries
omg i cant even explain how like perfect and satisfying i find the square of butter 😍
who knew words and sound could break the physical pain barrier
That crunch in the begining was sooo good 😋
Excellence is not perfection! You put your valuable time and talent into those! Enjoy and share! It may be the best thing the have eaten in months and baking for someone may be their love language to receive food you made!
Those look SO GOOD
What a nice moral to this story 💖
They look wonderful and I’m sure they taste even better! :)
Your voice is so nice for this VO. Nice croissants. 10/10 fren
We should always be hardest on ourselves and gentle with others. And look how great they turned out. This is just passion.
I love little imperfect foods if it makes you feel any better, especially when it comes from someone or a local bakery. Usually means it was made by hand and not mass produced. Your croissants look bussin, I'd eat them all

Oh the lamination on that... Gorgeous!

THEY LOOK INCREDIBLE THO
You shouldn’t be afraid ur like the best baker on UA-cam rn
They look and sound amazing
You can’t beat a really buttery croissant
Lmao not the cat 😂
looks goooood. i love baking chemistry lol
It looks so good! I really need the receipe
I can't even tell you how much I relate to this. I starting crying yesterday while making these fancy rolls that I thought I ruined but they actually turned out okay
Wow! Great job. That sure explained why they’re so fluffy! & why mine turn out great from Starbuck’s

I would stay in front of the oven the whole time to see if it rises or not , sometimes would take it out and it's uncooked or overcooked

Croissants are a labor of love. Remember the side it’s facing. Remember what way you’re supposed to cut them out. It all works out in the end.
Now I'm salivating.
Good. They are good. Must be. Because now I'm hungry just looking at them on a screen; and hearing the crunch. 😉😄
Omg those looks absolutely stunning!!!!!!
I love baking and am pretty skilled at it. Pastry always intimidates me too.
They look lovely
Girl it looks sooo goood
