Hi guys, i make Pizza....but in the last months i find a new love: French Croissant. I study a lot recipes and understand how they work before to make this product. I tryed 4 times but i think that the study help me to make a good product.

1000 gr Denti Zero+ W340  Flour
120gr Sugar
30 gr Milk powder
10 gr Malt
15 gr Salt
30 gr Fresh Yeast
480 gr Water
100 gr Butter

600 gr Butter for spalling

wow - you've just made the kind of croissant that takes others many many more attempt. Congrats !

you use about half the butter and yeast that I use - I will do 100g butter with 500g flour (twice as much as you). Same goes for yeast - i do 30g fresh with half the amount of flour. As for hydro I do about 55% and you do just under 50. Lastly you are higher on sugar by a little bit. I'm wondering about your proofing. I will bulk proof for 1.5-2 hours at RT then cold chill overnight. After laminating and shaping i final proof for 1.5 hours around 75f. What's your cycle like with this recipe ?

I make a 4 type fold and after a 3 type fold. Really important is move to CF before making folds

I am still trying to learn the shorthand here..............what is CF?

 

In the recipe, what, exactly is "malt"?  I have been lusting after a good croissant recipe.
