Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my butter melting while rolling the dough? If your butter is melting, the room might be too warm. Try chilling your workspace or refrigerating the dough between turns to keep the butter firm.
Can I make these croissants with whole wheat flour? Yes, but using whole wheat flour will yield a denser texture. Consider replacing only half of the flour with whole wheat to maintain a light and flaky result.
How do I make chocolate croissants? Simply place a piece of chocolate near the wide end of each triangle before rolling it up. Bake as directed for an easy, chocolate-filled variation!
What’s the difference between croissants and puff pastry? While both croissants and puff pastry are laminated doughs, croissants contain yeast, giving them a softer, bread-like texture compared to the crispiness of puff pastry.
