Sourdough Croissants

Sourdough Surprise October 2014
Don't you just know when you have a great recipe in front you?
I was a bit reluctant to take a part in this months Sourdough Surprise challenge because I never made croissants before and to jump over that, one very important step, and go straight into attempting to make a sourdough version of it, seemed like a bite that I wouldn't be able to chew without choking. But I did, thanks to the devotion of TXFarmer to make perfect home- made croissants!
I followed the recipe to the dot and if I only was able to keep the the room temperature a bit better, I would have ended up with crumbs to be very proud of. But, I am not complaining. Two days ago I thought that I even shouldn't be trying to make the sourdough croissants yet.
It makes you wonder - how many more things you keep yourself from doing because you think you are not ready for it?

ReplyDeleteThank you ! Not perfect, but I am pleased! The recipe is really good and they were delicious:)
ReplyDeleteFantastično izgledaju, baš mame! Već su mi duže vrijeme na spisku za isprobavanje i nikako da se odlučim za neki konkretni recept. Sad, zahvaljujući tebi, imam recept
ReplyDeleteCovek je posvecen kroasanima, ne bi verovala. Mislim da se neces pokajati ako isprobas recept
ReplyDeleteGlad you found the courage to give it a try! It looks like you got some nice layers. They're really not too hard, just lots of steps to follow and keep track of.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, and finding a recipe that you feel you can trust helps a lot
ReplyDeletePravila sam ih, ali sa kiselim tijestom jos ne...Ostaje i to da probam. Uzme dosta vremena, ali su domaci ipak najbolji.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! Your croissants look fantastic!! No one would ever be able to tell this was your first time croissant making!
ReplyDeleteSomething that I'm going to try this weekend is taking an empty wine bottle, half-filling it with water, and freezing it. It's a frozen rolling pin that helps with keeping the dough cold while rolling it out :)
ReplyDeleteFirst things first, your croissants look amazing. You are right - that recipe is amazing, and can give confidence to all of us that we can do it! Secondly, I love your ending line. You are so right - sometimes our biggest hurdles are all in our minds!! You did really great work.
ReplyDeleteCroissants are indeed intimidating but you did so well!
ReplyDeleteSamo sto ne zamirisu sa slike i skliznu iz korpice u moj tanjir.:))) Najlepsi pocetak dana je uz domace mirisno pecivo, mekano k‘o dusa, i omiljenu soljicu kafe ili caja:)))
ReplyDeleteYou are right, many times we don't try things just because we think we will not be able to do them. That reminds me that I never made croissants at home just because I think that the result will not be good enough.
ReplyDeleteYou have to be pleased with your croissants, they look amazing!
Thank you all for your kind comments! Kkim500 - that freezing bottle idea sounds really clever :))
ReplyDeleteWow. Those are some gorgeous croissants. txfarmer would be proud!
