Unlock the secrets of professional pastry with our hands-on "Croissants for Days" class. Laminated dough is the cornerstone of bakery-quality croissants, Danishes, and puff pastry, known for its airy, buttery, and beautifully layered results. This class goes beyond the recipe, teaching you the foundational techniques that transform simple ingredients into edible art.
The Science of Lamination: Understand how butter and dough work together to create those perfect, flaky layers. We'll cover the roles of dough elasticity, butter plasticity, and steam in the lamination process.
Essential Techniques: Master the "turns" — the rolling and folding process that creates the characteristic layers of laminated dough. You'll learn the difference between single and double folds and why rest periods are just as important as the rolling itself.
Hands-On Practice: You'll work in pairs to prepare your own dough (détrempe) and butter block (beurrage), then practice the lamination process. You'll learn to shape your creations into classic croissants or Danishes, and we’ll bake them to a golden, flaky finish.
Troubleshooting: We'll address common issues like butter leakage, uneven layers, and over-proofing, giving you the confidence to fix problems and achieve perfect results every time.
