Critical Success Points

  • Do not over‑work the détrempe to avoid overheating the flour
  • Keep the butter very cold during the turns to prevent it from leaking
  • Respect the proofing temperature up to 25 °C so the butter does not melt
  • Bake precisely at 200 °C for 10 minutes

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven; wear kitchen gloves if necessary
  • Use the knife carefully when cutting
  • Raw egg may contain salmonella; cook the croissants thoroughly
