Overview

Create 6 buttery and flaky croissants in your own kitchen

The Art of Baking Croissants is a book dedicated to the mastery of one of the most beloved pastries in the world: the croissant. Within these pages, I’m excited to guide you through the enchanting journey of creating these buttery, flaky delights in your own kitchen.

The history and significance of croissants in pastry are as rich as their golden layers.

Though their origins lie in Austrian patisserie, croissants have become an iconic symbol of French culinary heritage, synonymous with elegance and indulgence. Today, croissants are savored worldwide, and find themselves at the heart of countless pastry collections – both traditional and modern.

In this book, you’ll find six recipes, each offering a delicious take on this classic pastry. Starting with the Whole Wheat Croissants, you’ll learn the secrets behind perfecting croissant dough and mastering the art of dough lamination. This recipe may seem simple, but its heavenly buttery flavor and flaky texture make it truly exceptional.

Another pastry classic, the Almond Croissants are an absolute delight. Filled with a velvety almond cream, they offer a delicate balance of textures and a subtle nutty aroma that will transport your taste buds to the streets of Paris.

Indulge in the pleasure of two custard-filled croissant recipes – opt for a silky smooth vanilla custard or prepare a decadent dark chocolate variant. And while not strictly croissants, the Raisin Buns just had to be included in this book. These exquisite pastry swirls are generously filled with a smooth custard and plump raisins. Their comforting sweetness makes them a perfect companion to any afternoon tea.

Each recipe is crafted with comprehensive steps and detailed instructions, designed to make the croissant-making process accessible and enjoyable for bakers of all levels. From understanding the precise folding techniques to achieving the perfect buttery layers, you’ll be empowered to create these heavenly pastries with confidence and finesse.
