Croissants

[Francesca]

The flour I've ordered is: Farine Biologique T65 (French Organic Bread Flour)

@morning glory

My mom in law uses T45 type organic (biologique) flour .. ( this is a mix of bread and pastry flour unbleached )

T 65 is a type of flour a little different, and many use it for Croissants ..

The recipe :

500 grams flour T45 or T65
125 ml cow milk
125 ml wáter
50 Grams of 82 % butter at Room Temperature
300 Grams of 82% butter Cold ( she uses a butter from D´ Echire Charentes )
10 grams of salt
Sugar ( 45 - 50 grams )
Yeast:
Now what she said is that the Yeast, is very important: 20 grams of Levure de Boulanguer ( French Bread Baker Yeast ) Biologique .. & 10 Grams of Sèche Levure / Yeast .. It is a yeast that looks like semolina .. Very fine .. ( if not use what you have been using ) ..

I hope this has assisted you .. Good luck !! I am sure that they will be delicious ..

Thank you. I've ordered some French bio flour on-line and I should be able to get French butter.



I think you must mean 450g?

Ok, thanks @Francesca. I await the arrival of the flour. I use standard dried yeast and sometimes fresh yeast. We will see!
