Happy National Croissant Day!! We all love a croissant, whether it be savoury filled, sweet filled or even just the buttery croissant on it's own, they're all delicious. 

An interesting fact I came across when researching about these flakey delights is that many people think Croissants originated in France when in fact they originated in Austria!

Achieving those perfect layers can be tricky so I've listed a few tips that may help you achieve that :) 

Tips: 
  1. Ice cold water helps with keeping the dough cool but you could also freeze your flour to chill it more.
  2. Make sure your fat is pliable and not solid, try keeping the fat the same consistency as the dough.
  3. When laminating your dough, don't apply immediate pressure as this could lead to the layers tearing.
  4. Make sure your proving temperatures are low, high temperatures can melt the fat which would ruin all that hard work! 

If you have any tips you've picked up along the way, be sure to share on the ABST page with your pictures for inspiration. It's amazing to see all the different variations and innovations, two toned pastry was the in trend last year, I wonder what it could be this year? 

​Enjoy!
