Croissants

I always love a warm chocolate croissant for breakfast.  But of course what is better than a homemade one?  And I just happened to try out this new homemade croissant recipe (link HERE).  Here are a few notes of what I’ve done:

  1. This recipe took me three days to complete, so make sure you have enough time each day!
  2. Most of my croissants were chocolate.  My family and I are kinda chocoholics.  I used two kinds of chocolate: Green and Black’s Dark 70% chocolate and Guittard Semisweet chocolate.  Both taste delicious!
  3. It might take a while to roll the dough.  On the last day, when you roll out the dough, I had to put my dough back into the fridge for about 10 minutes.  The dough was then able to be rolled out all the way.
  4. Instead of using a meter stick, I just used a regular ruler.
  5. When you shape the croissants, the notch should look like this:                                                   
  6. When you bake the croissants, be careful putting the oven temperature on convection.  After the first ten minutes, one pan of croissants was very brown.  I then put the oven temperature to about 350°F and on Bake.
  7. Along with these croissants, I made a Blueberry Honey Sauce.  I did find it to have a little too much cinnamon, but still very good with these croissants!
