Discovering the Art of making French Croissants

Triskell Bakery's 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 and founder of Triskell Bakery, is a French-born food scientist and home baker who will teach you how to create a wonderful batch of French croissants and pains au chocolat.

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

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

Students will go home with:

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