Croissant Dozens

This book is great!! I’ve become obsessed with baking croissants and this book has many recipes, directions, and photos! Exactly what I need!

This book is very detailed with formulas, variations of pastries to make with the basic dough, and beautiful pictures to show you what you can make from this book. I made ham and cheese filled croissants with some of the dough and some plain ones. I froze 2/3rds of the dough so that I can have it on hand to speed things up when we want a wonderful breakfast treat.

Although the recipes are well written with photographs for every step, the overall quality of the book is not worth the price paid. The print, paper and pictures look of poor quality and cheap. I feel cheated that I paid Rs. 2700 for this cheap looking paperback!

Have draw and stated the size of the dough when spread out. I have not try the receipt yet.

I am a croissant lover, but I have never tried my hands on making them until got this book. It is standing out from other cook books, in that the author has made such detailed steps each accompanied with beautiful photos and you will know every tip and trick for each step of the way. The recipes are precise with high standards of professional quality, yet easy to follow with sidebar notes giving advice on some common mistakes made by beginners. From Classic Charm to the Modern Chic, there are so many variations and styles. I appreciate the imaginative and artistic creations, especially in the “They belong in a zoo!” section, my wife had a lot of fun experimenting! Her first batch of croissants with four variations turned out really good, they are freshly hot, flaky and delicious, so much better than those bought from stores. We enjoyed not only feasting, but also the process of making them. Looking forward to trying the rest of the recipes.
