Discovering the Art of making French Croissants

Triskell Bakery Discovering the Art of making French Croissants:

Join us for a three hour class to learn how to make authentic French croissants from scratch.

Alain Marec, your instructor, is a French born food scientist and home baker who will teach you how to create a wonderful batch of French croissants or pain au chocolat.

During the class, you will create your own croissants and go through all the steps including: making the détrempe (dough), beurre de tourrage (butter block), laminating, folding techniques, dividing the dough and shaping the croissants, finally proofing and baking your croissants.

While the process is 2 ½ days long, through “TV magic”, we will be able to explore and practice every step of the process.

Students will go home with:

• 6 medium sized croissants/pains au chocolat they will have personally shaped and baked during the class.
• A small batch of laminated dough to shape into croissants and bake the next day.
• A hand out of the presentation given in class and a contact information for troubleshooting.
• A new hobby and bragging rights….
