Thank you for sharing your method Ray, sounds excellent, because eggs can be a challenge from one egg to the next, never exactly the same.

Enjoy your baking and the results

Thank you Cecelia,
We think it could also be different from one country to the next. For us this method is still very much cheaper but the main reason will always be to avoid the ingredients we do not want in our bakes.

Enjoy your baking 🙂

Comment on Video: Making & Baking Classic French Croissants by Weekend Bakers https://www.weekendbakery.com/posts/video-making-baking-classic-french-croissants/comment-page-3/#comment-657934 Mon, 22 Apr 2024 11:39:29 +0000 http://www.weekendbakery.com/?p=8251#comment-657934 In reply to Rebecca.

Hello Rebecca,
No the quantity does not change between these flour types. Did you measure or weigh your flour?
In general the T-55 should be the right type of flour for the croissant and there are so many factors that can play a role in the end result, including the brand / quality of the flour you use and the circumstances on the day(s) you make them (a slight temp change could mean you need(ed) a longer proof). It is especially hard to be absolute consistent and get the same results with this type of bake.
But if you get a result you like with the AP flour we would absolutely encourage you to bake them with this flour again.

Enjoy your baking!

Hello Faazin,
Try and roll the dough as tightly as you can (without any air between the layers) and make sure the end sticks well to the rest of the rolled up croissant. Apply your egg wash very well too.

Just keep practicing and you will improve your result!

Hello Kim,
Very glad to hear your vegan version turned out so well! Did you use oat or nut milk or water?

Thanks for the recipe. I made some adjustments to the recipe to make the cinnamon buns vegan. They were amazing.
I am looking forward to making more of your delicious recipes, with a vegan twist.

I mix all my non water liquid items first. Weigh them then add my other liquids to reach the hydration level I want..Fool proof. Especially with eggs.

I felt my T-55 croissants were denser than my ap flour croissants.

Comment on Onze pain rustique by Weekend Bakers https://www.weekendbakery.com/posts/onze-pain-rustique/comment-page-2/#comment-657926 Thu, 18 Apr 2024 08:13:39 +0000 http://www.weekendbakery.com/?p=15521#comment-657926 In reply to Madieke.

Dankjewel Madieke,
Ons advies, gebaseerd op vele jaren bakervaring: Zorg ervoor dat je de tijd en ruimte hebt om de eerste keren het proces niet te hoeven onderbreken. Zo weet je zeker dat je resultaat gebaseerd is op het precies volgen van het recept. Als je een nieuwe variabele gaat invoeren, nog voordat je het recept ooit volledig hebt gemaakt, is het extra lastig te beoordelen wat er goed en fout gaat. Als je resultaat dan tegenvalt raak je wellicht ook nog een beetje ontmoedigd. Dat willen we niet!
Dit gezegd hebbende: Je kunt de koelkast inderdaad gebruiken om het fermenteren en rijzen af te remmen. Dit kan zowel bij het voordeeg als op dag 2 bv bij de laatste rijs, nadat je het brood gevormd hebt. De lage temperatuur remt het proces maar stopt het niet! Er zit dus een einde aan de hoeveelheid tijd die je hebt en je kunt niet exact zeggen hoe lang dit is (dat heeft o.a. te maken met je koelkast- en deegtemperatuur op dat moment). Belangrijkste waar je op moet letten is dat het deeg nooit over-rijst want dan gaan de gluten kapot en zakt je deeg in elkaar. Als het na de koelkast juist nog wat extra tijd nodig heeft, is dat veel minder een probleem. Dan geef je het brood gewoon wat extra rijstijd.
Veel plezier met het bakken en kijk voor je begint nog even naar onze beste tips die je echt kunnen helpen naar een goed resultaat.

It’s great to have the recipe for emergencies but not to make it all the time. An 8 ounce can of double baking powder is $1.98 while 1.5 ounces of Cream of Tartar is $2.99, corn starch (cheap) baking soda cheap as well but it’s the cream of tartar that makes this product expensive to make all the time. Thank you for recipe.

Dat tijdschema is kort en overzichtelijk; echt blij mee.
Vraag: als ik het deeg (onvoorziene omstandigheden) niet af kan maken, ik moet het proces onderbreken, kan ik het dan bewaren in de koelkast? In welke stadia kan ik dat doen?
Ik ben een broekie en begin vaak op verkeerde tijden.

Comment on The Panettone Project by Weekend Bakers https://www.weekendbakery.com/posts/the-panettone-project/comment-page-3/#comment-657923 Tue, 16 Apr 2024 13:26:25 +0000 http://www.weekendbakery.com/?p=17166#comment-657923 In reply to Lisa.

Hello Lisa,
Sorry for the late reply. It is a bit of a mystery what happened, seeing as you describe one as fine and the other gummy. As stage 1 is supposed to be a shaggy mess, the butter not fully incorporated will not be a problem.
Could there be something going on with the yeast you used? Was it past the sell by date, or did you use an already opened packet? Using older yeast can account for the lack of rise.

Over the past couple of years, I have baked it many times. Today as the fresh loaves came out of the oven and the house smelled so wonderful, I had to comment on how much a I love this bread (it is my favorite to bake and eat). I always make two loaves from this recipe, so that I can share one with friends.

In general you call it a poolish because of the ratio ( 1 to 1 flour and water) whether using sourdough or yeast in the poolish. But people most often use the word poolish with commercial yeast and words like preferment with sourdough.
