Flakiness, Butteriness, Pure Goodness

At my workplace I don’t bake breads, Danishes, or anything of such thing, yet those are my favorite things to buy when I visit a bakery. So these past few days I decided to make croissants. CROISSANTS. Mmm… Flakiness, butteriness, pure goodness. =] I haven’t post any of my recent baked goods, so today is your lucky day!

I started out with my 1st dough, added the yeast right into my dough and then decided to check the label of my yeast jar if it was instant or active dry. It was active dry. So I made a 2nd batch, this batch I dissolved the yeast with part of the liquids. I did my rising and rolling and rolling and rolling and rolling. The hard part was rolling the dough and making sure the butter didn’t squeeze out. This is my unproofed dough.

This is my dough getting baked. I literally sat for a good 5 minutes looking at it and admiring the amazing aroma.

And these are my babies. The taste was almost, almost, almost there. I love my croissants with a strong flavor, this batch was so close, but I still loved them. I just love seeing tedious projects turn out amazing. Croissant?
