How to make real croissants completely by hand
Serious Eats / Keller & Keller
To enjoy that delicate flaky French pastry known as a croissant you have two options: stop by your local bakery and pick some up or take the road less traveled: make your own. The difference between the two options is really a matter of time with the former taking just a few minutes and the latter taking about 14 hours. While heading to the store is a good option for most of us making croissants at home is a project for the intrepid baker for those who want to know how all those buttery layers come together.
Because this is such an involved baking project it’s a smart idea to plan at least two days in advance so you have enough time for the resting and rising that great croissants require. Once you have the time to bake your croissants familiarize yourself with this recipe from Joanne Chang of Flour ; it’s a long recipe but it will walk you through the entire process with fantastically detailed instructions that leave no step to the imagination. You’ll be rolling and folding like the pros.
