Use Active Starter At Its Peak

01

To ensure a good lift you will need a strong active starter to help a heavily enriched dough rise. 

Make Detempre

02

Make the main dough! Proof it at room temperature, then finish proofing in the fridge.

Laminate

03

In this step, butter is encased into the sourdough detempre and rolled out multiple times to create butter layers. 

Rest The Pastry Overnight In the Fridge

04

This will solidify the butter and strengthen the gluten in the pastry.

Shape Sourdough Croissants on Day 2

05

A satisfying process that will  get you all excited about eating them! Once shapes, they will proof again at room temperature. 

Bake and Enjoy!

All the hard work and patience pays off! The crescent shape, the layers created by lamination and the crispy brown exterior!
