The left is the dough...on the right...is the butter square. I am serious. 3 sticks of butter right there...it's like a heart attack waiting to happen, heh. I was supposed to use a bench scraper to make the butter square...but I couldn't find one at the store...so I used a spatula and a lot of mashing...
Good thing making Croissants is so much effort and time...or I'd get fat really fast...
First two turns...essentially the dough was fully wrapped around the flat butter square, and it was folded "twice" This process was done two times...with multiple hours of refrigeration from the beginning to the end...
Yay! they look like croissants...this was prior to the brushing of egg and water spritzing on top. I was probably supposed to use a brush...but I used my hands...I was probably supposed to use a spray bottle to spritz the water...but I just shook my hands around on it...Improv!
I also have A LOT, A LOT of reading/work to get done before Tuesday...yikes...But, I start my unpaid internship with real work finally! woohoo! getting a walking tour of Nationwide Children's Hospital, then going back to Columbus of Public Health for a meeting and some work...
Wednesday: shopping with Whitney, woohoo!
The rest of the week? Still waiting for Josh to get back to me about when I'm to go to his grandparents.
ALSO: HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
If my dad was here, I'd give him croissants...but seeing as he is far away with yucky internet, e-mails had to do. Sigh*
