My oven:
Pastry sheeter (Not used in the video)
farina-metal.com/discount/BENNY
Basic croissant
500g flour (11.5%)
55g Brown sugar + 10g Salt
10g Milk powder
260g Milk + 20g Fresh yeast (10-12g instant dry)
50g Soft butter
250g Good quality unsalted butter (82%) for lamination
(I used Lurpak unsalted butter)
If your dough appears to be too dry, try 130g water+130g milk instead of 260g milk.
Note that you may need to increase or decrease hydration to suit the flour you are using.
And yes, you can half this recipe to make a small batch!

  • Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took me 2 months to finally have a croissant I could be proud off. In Mexico flour is different, I had to use a high protein flour (13% protein), Osmotolerant dry instant yeast (golden package) and use 60% water and 40% milk of the total hydration of this recipe. Everything else on this recipe was the same. I saw at least 200 Hours of video material and another 100 hours of reading about dough, croissant, butter, yeast, laminating technique, proofing, flour properties and temperatures and over 20 failures (each one with different flour, or butter, or percentages, or kneading or yeast) to have it right. There were times in which I was so discouraged that I did not wanted to know anything about bread or butter. But I will say everything in the process is key (lol XD) and everything you need IS in this video. Do not go anywhere else just find the right materials and keep practicing. I tried full recipe and half of it and results are the same. You just need to find the right flour for you (this is a journey by itself), once you do, basically any butter not too soft (you can check it at the store by pressing it) will do it, flavor will definitely will be affected by the butter but with the right flour and right dough temperature, and right laminating technique and right proofing will do it. Here is always hot, so boiling water in the over, wait for 5-10 min to put in the croissants and a little spring of water over the shaped croissants will do it (it tried egg wash, milk, no moisture) for the 2-2.5 hours proofing). And yes, go for the expensive butter, cheap butter tastes cheap.

Could it be shortened if the dough is left in the freezer for an x time and then in the fridge? or has to chill only in the fridge for 45 minutes? :) (your croissants made my wifes boss ate them, when she normally does not eat croissants xD)

  • Awesome video! I love your geeky humour 😅 I always wondered why some people are so adamant about not letting the dough proof at all before shaping the croissants (the explanation I saw most frequently is that you don't wanna develop the gluten too much). I tried it like that but the dough still is tensed af and springs back.

    • How's going, Natalia :) Simple, different recipes require a different procedure, type of flour, quantity of the dough, recipe, different folding system...the list goes on! For home bakers, it's best to bulk ferment to ensure the dough is properly developed, you don't want pancake croissant XD

    • @@Bennysbaked I think you're right. Since I can't find type 00 flour so easily anymore where I live, I've been using either cake flour (12% protein, goes to show that protein content it's not all that matters in a flour) or type 55. Everything went smoothly until the final proofing when my croissants cracked and collapsed 😔. I guess bc of the weak flour and lack of gluten development (this never happened when I had good quality type 00 italian flour). Thank you so much for your insights :D

Or replace with whey protein maybe? At what temperature is the pastry considered too warm for folding and must be chilled? To what temperature must it be chilled before continuing to laminate? Lastly, what's the best baking temperature for regular convection ovens? Thanks again!

( i currently dont have one) 2) any tips on how to roll the pastry for equal thickness? 3) is there a substitue for milk powder and fresh yeast? (its kinda hard to find in my country) 4) if l use milk wash, do l need to wash the top surface and cross section or only the top surface ? thank you again for the recipe!

    • Hi, thank you! 1. No you can hand knead the dough, just takes a longer time. 2. Go to your local hardware store and buy 4, 4mm wooden plank roughly 40 by 2.5cm, place them down next to your pastry two on each side, and use them as a guide! 3. It can't really be substituted, but you can simply remove it from the recipe by reducing milk to 250 and increase butter to 60g. 4. Unlike eggwash, you can brush the whole croissant with milk, it's fine :)

    • I just had the same issue, the dough was harder to knead, and would crack. I added a little bit of water, which seemed to improve it at least in the moment, and eventually it would crack again (maybe a little less, though). Now I'm letting it rise and I'll go one with the recipe. But I wonder if it's because of the milk? I usually use water, or a mix of milk and water. Also to note, I did not have milk powder so I skipped that ingredient.

  • Coming back to this recipe after a while I have one (I'd say important) takeaway for people struggling with croissants: TLDR: Pay attention to the dough texture more than to numbers. Big croissants require a strong (stretchy) dough. Long story: I decided to make 3 batches in one day, which is nice for comparison testing (was able to laminate 2 interleaving, 3rd was laminated afterwards separately). I was always puzzled by how the Benny's dough looks much more pliable and stretchy than mine and so I tried to adjust water content. For the second dough I've added 280 g of milk. The third dough was 240 g of milk + 40 g of water (but still having the milk powder in). The third dough had the nicest gluten development; would account that to a longer fridge time and possibly kneading rather than the milk content (but will experiment more next time). While it felt like the dough fought back the most during laminating, it was not something a little "chill" wouldn't fix (and it was my third dough in the day so I may have been tired of it at that point). At the same time I haven't observed any "premature fermentation issue due to a wetter environment". In any case, the 2nd and 3rd dough produced superior results (the difference was immense). More water in my case not only made the dough handling better, but also contributed to higher rise (and in the 3rd case it may have been improved by stronger gluten structure). Your flour may behave differently. For the reference I've used Bongiovanni Piazza Castello and a local butter with 84% fat content. Side note: I've rolled in a piece of gruyère in half of my croissants (from each batch). I highly recommend such experiments.

  • Certainly one of the best videos on KZhead about croissants. You not only show the ideal process but also provide context as to why you do certain things. You also illustrate what not to do. Very good educational material. I bet you’ve read many recipes and watched lots of videos to arrive here, just as I did. Two takeaways for me: no egg wash before proofing and only once with milk before baking. I was never satisfied with a single egg wash before proofing as it dried out the surface, but double egg wash resulted in glossy thick crust which I also didn’t like. Single milk before bake makes a lot of sense!

I don't have an electric mixer so mixed by hand from the beginning, but even after close to an hour of kneading my dough does not seem to have formed the right amount of gluten, it seems like the dough doesn't want to get out of the rough mix stage :( Any tips on what I might be doing wrong and how I can improve?
