Learn how to make poolish croissants. Double fermentation!
Hi friends :) The poolish/sourdough croissant recipe is finally here, Against all odds😂
After many experiments, I settled on the 15% poolish version, I think this recipe has just the right amount of preferments to achieve that sensational flavor without being too tangy.
5-3-2 lamination system is also introduced in the video, featuring an English lock-in, a single fold, and a 2 fold. It actually creates the same number of layers as 3-4-3!
This is a three-day process, takes a little more time and patience, but they're really worth it.

just made croissants today, omg i cannot thank you enough! i have been chasing a perfect croissant for over 2 years now, and i think ive finally got the one! thank you benny!
From my college days cooking was just to fill my stomach, I am no more hungry now but seeing your video I just learnt a new hobby of fine arts and precision in baking. Thanks, Benny for the inspiration.
Best croissant I have seen. I will have to wake my sourdough starter up from the fridge. It has been a year since I used it last.
One of the best tutorials on croissants! Thank you!🙏
Thank you!
Thank you for your great technic !!
Wow finally some tips for rolling by hand. Thanks Man!
Benny, I love baking. Your video's are the best I have seen. I 'm glad you let your personality come through. I used to feel intimidated by baking but after almost daily baking during the pandemic, I fell in love. Ohh, good job with the plastic. Keep on loving..
The best croissant I ever seen...I will do your recipe! You are the best!! Thanks for all details
You are very welcome 🤗
Ok! I decide to try this recipe!!! I watch you from start since last year until now. I can see you did lot of researching. Make it more complicate recipe but result is show much better. Thank you for sharing.
This was so wonderful and my wife is eternally grateful for you showing me how to make croissants. Thank you for sharing!
You are welcome!😁
Thanks Benny for the best croissant tutorial on KZhead. My croissants came out amazing today and more importantly I have a great understanding of how the dough should feel and how to keep the temperature right. Today’s bake was a solid “B+” and I’m sure next time it will be an “A”. Very satisfying to have something this advanced come out so well.
I'm so glad to hear that😁 Great job!
Oh, Benny, I've been waiting for this for a long time, now I know how to spend my weekend!!!
Sorry for the wait!
I really like your content, i learn a lot from them. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Thank you!
Love it
Wonderful croissants, the stages and how to cook them are very good. My regards
You are very welcome😃
OMG IM MAKING THESE ASAP
team fresh yeast indeed :D also I think instant dissolves and ferments a bit faster since it’s a smaller grain but I guess they could be interchangeable.
Marvellous, fantastica
Very good job 😘
Good job Benny.
Thank you😊
Looking forward to making these! I've always wanted to use my sourdough starter in something other than sourdough bread.
Sourdough pancakes😂
@@Bennysbaked LOL I like to make sourdough pancakes with my discard every week.
@@Bennysbaked I make discard starter waffles all of the time!!
@@MikeR65 How does it taste? Sour?
Amazing vídeo. Many thanks!
thank you!
amazing!!!
Thank you!
Looks great
Thank you Sir!
Today is my first day lol! But I feel this time the croissants I’m gonna get it right, and your videos are so professional and funny 😄 I love them. I have made other recipes and I feiled many times but not this time!
Good luck! You can message me on Instagram If you want to ask questions.
Wow thank you for sharing, very detail information. For me as beginner 🤗🤗🤗
You're welcome!
Amazing. Once again, thank you for caring about our croissants Benny.
Haha you are very wecome!
Fantastic
Great tutorial - the explanations given are excellent! 🤩 Not talking about the sense of humour, I laughed out loud watching it! Although I am right in the middle of making croissants with yeast - pastry rest in the fridge for the last ~40 minutes now, I am going to try the sourdough version as we have it and use it for bread at home. The 5-3-2 fold method seems to be cool and absolutely working :-) Thanks! 👍😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job mate 👍👍
Cheers!
Haha ….I love your sense of humor 😂
cheers😁
Dude... amazing
Thanks man :))
Hermosos!!!
You are the best teacher 😁
Thank you!

PS : et plus si affinités.
Thankyou 👍 great detail 👍
You are welcome ☺️
ThNks for providing great education
You're welcome 😁
Excellent, congrats
Cheers!
Best croissants I have ever made! Used the Breville mixer which fixed my dough problem. The poolish method also helped although I added 235 ml water instead of 160 ml but the dough was okay. Temperature was the next issue. Winter in Queensland the early morning temperature is12 C. Opened the windows and doors to cool down the whole kitchen to 16 C. After all the folds were complete, the dough went back in the fridge for another 24 hours. Next morning I cut the dough in half, leave half in fridge to keep cold, rolled out and cut into triangles, let it rest in the fridge to repeat the other half, then rolled the croissants. After 2 hours proofing, cooked for 10 minutes at 210 C then 10 minutes 190C. Some croissants do not have the lovely even air pockets like yours but I am very happy with this batch. Thank you so much Benny.
I'm happy for you! You are very welcome 🤗
Yay! Finally!!
Haha sorry for the wait!
Amazing 👏
Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing I will do it very soon
Hope you enjoy!
Loved the video. Can you use scrap dough on the next mix? How much and do you alter the recipe when adding scrap dough? Thanks!
I love your recipes. thanks for sharing!! have a good day friend. :D
Thank you☺️
👌 👏 👍 awesome
For anyone interested, the second song in the video seems to be "When I Was a Boy" by Tokyo Music Walker.
I laughed 🤣 when I saw that bag of frozen dumplings. I have done that a few times myself hahaha. Hey, it works!!! And when that one croissant rolled, I held my breath!!! Hahaha. We can all relate to that. Thanks for another amazing video. I have become obsessed with layers too!!!
You're welcome 😄 I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Like this !!!
Thank you!
Benny I’m in the process of trying this recipe. It’s a lot harder than you make it look. But I’m going to learn and keep trying!!
Practice makes perfect! Don't give up!
Very good, mate
Thanks mate!
Woohoo sourdough!
Thanks legend
I use waxed paper to form my butter block. I think it helps to use less plastic
👍brilliant👍
Thank you!
Hi Benny, wondering if you'd be willing to make public your other croissant video (which is currently private), I find it to be more detailed with the sizes and what not for my process (compared to some of your newer vids). Really appreciate your tutorials; they've been immensely helpful in my pastry making journey!!
Vou tentar fazer ❤️🇧🇷
Você consegue!
Thank you for teaching us. This video very nice and teaching in detail. Thank you for sharing +207Like I Food Leveling 👍👍
Thank you so much for your dedicated time and effort to share with us the joys of a croissant! Have you gotten tired of them yet? Btw I wish you would also include you eating a croissant! As viewers we live vicariously through you so to see you eat it would be a great ending to the story. You don't have to show your face. I mainly just want to see a reaction of you eating the most delicious thing on earth lol
I have to tell you... you are a mazing. Now I go to make you're poolish, And tomorrow I have to try your method .. well done👏
Thank you!
Ha ha ha ! I love the way you show how to.
Thank you :)
Thank you a million time
You're very welcome 😉
They look so perfect. You are a master. I love your videos and your recipes. Love from Pakistan.🇵🇰
Thank you so much😊
Have you ever thought that you may publish a book? If it happens, I'll be the first one to buy it 😍
I don't know...I like to share my knowledge through a video and I enjoy it🙂 Who knows..maybe in the future, I will!
I have tried croissants with poolish also few times with few versions and it is same effect in taste if you leave laminated dough in fridge over night if not using poolish. Only difference is butter will go hard and thin layers will break a bit, but still gonna make final layers structure. Maybe a bit more tight/dense. Plus is there will be more butter aroma in dough. So if someone preffer less combinations with poolish but still want more intensive taste and aroma, just skip poolish, then leave laminated dough over night. :) Movie was great and fun to watch. :) I have enjoyed it very much. Cool work. :) Never tried to make croissants without milk, always mixing 1/2 of water with 1/2 of full milk. Gonna have to try this method. I susspect it will make flavour less tasty. Fresh full milk is always more tasty then just water without taste, but... Still gonna try. Maybe after my methods will dough will get a bit more milky aroma and taste from butter. :) Anyway, thanks for fun and new point of view. :) Take care and good luck. :)
Thank you!
very helpful!!!
Thank you!
Is it ok to freeze a raw croissant for about a week or so??
@@JoakimDL Long freezing period will slowly kill off the yeast, depending on the yeast you use I suggest 3-4 days
@@Bennysbaked thank you!!!
@@JoakimDL anytime 😊
Well done Many thanks for your effort and professionalism Greetings from Palestine 🇵🇸
Thank you!
Wow, stunning croissants. You can maybe try it with pasta madre
Yes it will be delicious ☺️
We miss you, Chef!
Thanks a lot 😚
You're welcome!
الوصفه جدا رائع شكرا لك ع شرحك المبسط سؤال عندي طحين ١١/٥عملت كرواسون لكن اصبح فطيره 😂 ماالسبب
Nice vid. Can you please make some short vids on techniques. Would like to see properly roll out the dough.
I will :)! Thanks for the suggestion!
I have been using the same bag of dry yeast kept in a zip lock in the veggie drawer of my fridge for.... 3 years? Works fine.
Love the video Benny! Do you have to use fan force when baking this ? What will be the appropriate temperature for other electric ovens ?
I also go with fan forced, but if you don't have it just bake at a higher temperature (200c)
I have gone over this video many times now. It’s excellent. My first attempt, I must add that yours is near perfection, is a facsimile but much more “rustic”. I would like to know the approximate dimensions you are rolling to in the last book fold. I have gleaned so much from this. Attempting to roll the dough into a rectangle; my attempts at wrapping the dough between folds; and, attempts to be precise in all aspects. I’m awaiting my formation and proofing stage now. It’s been a complete morning project. Have you done a Kouign-amann yet for KZhead? I would love to see it! Excellent work young man (I’m 74)!
Hi, I'm glad you find my video useful🙂. For the book fold, It's roughly about 90X 30cm, I suggest focusing on the thickness (5mm) instead of the dimensions! And I will definitely make a video about Kouign-amann in the future. Cheers!
Dude, your videos are the shit. Thank you.
Cheers!
