MASTER CROISSANT DOUGH

If you would like to make your own croissants, be sure to take your time and follow the recipe, advises Vallier. Professional pastry chefs usually weigh their ingredients with a food scale, which you can find at most kitchen stores and online. You’ll also find French 45 flour online, which is very light. Fresh yeast is available in your grocery store’s refrigerator section and is preferable over the dry since it ferments more quickly and doesn’t contain additives. This recipe makes approximately 10 croissants.
