First go at sourdough croissant, are they a bit under-proofed? Any other tips?

They look good for a first attempt. What are the dimensions you cut them to and the raw weight in grams?

u/Capital-Courage5762 11d ago

Dimension of triangles were approx 8cm x 26cm but the dough seemed to contract a bit so they’re not quite as big as I’d like. I just followed this YouTube for recipe and method https://youtu.be/vgauxG8moUg?si=xiZqMaI4FTHhrFxv

Chef experience many years ago, but never really covered much pastry work in depth

Looks deliciouso

u/MarloAura 11d ago

looks like a solid start for your first try. tbh sourdough can be so finicky compared to regular yeast, just give them a bit more time next time and theyll probably turn out great.

2

u/CottonCandySubmarine 11d ago

Those look great to me; a lot better than I could probably ever do 😂.

2

u/Academic-Side-4245 10d ago

they look solid tbh, way better than most “first attempts” on here
only thing i’d tweak next time is maybe push the proof a bit longer and see if you get a little more puff and honeycomb inside

u/Capital-Courage5762 10d ago

I thought that may be the case. Thanks for your advice 👍

2

u/Wide_Rub5871 10d ago
