Happy Easter everyone! 


So, given that I had 4 days at home with no plans at all.  I decided to set myself a challenge and try to make the ... CROISSANT!


So, technically, making the croissant is not hard, its just the time and effort you need to put in for it to actually eventuate. 


I had time, I had the ingredients, and I wanted to make sure I could practice some of the pastry that I would make in Paris. So, here are the results! 

So, given all the effort of folding, waiting for it to rest, folding all over again.  I got so excited that I eventually had rolled them out, and they were ready for the oven .. that I forgot to brush it with egg wash. 


So disappointed and sad that I forgot the final step. But, I must say, given how much effort I put into these little babies.  They weren't as fragrant as the ones from the Dutch bakeries in Wynyard station.  


At least I have ticked croissants off my To Do list.  Now, to think of what to bake next!!
