Nancy, thank you so much for this excellent instructional video. I tried this and was very pleased with the result for my first go at making croissants! perfect on the inside, but not as flaky as expected on outside, not so sure why, perhaps butter quantity (have seen other's use more)?, or maybe temperature during final proofing..?

Then tried using this to make pain au raisin too, and wow, yum, just gorgous.

@brightgreencrayon Hi brightgreencrayon. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. A point about the flakiness of the outside. In a domestic oven, croissants won't have the same texture on the surface as ones you buy in a bakery where they have different ovens. Humidity/moisture have an influence on the final product. I'm glad the pain au raisin also turned out well. Did you try pain au chocolat?

55 grams (1/4 cup) granulated sugar

8 grams (1 1/2 tsp) salt

8 grams (1 packet) instant yeast (16 grams fresh yeast)
