Croissant class in Paris Techniques:
– Détrempe: mixture of flour, water, salt, butter, yeast, used in the preparation of croissant.
– Beurrage: to add butter to the dough that is called « pâton ».
– Paton: the block of croissant dough after the butter has been folded into the detrempe to form an envelope.
– Tourer: to give turns to the croissant dough (pâton) by rolling the dough and folding it.
– Feuilleter (to make into leaves): enclosing the butter in a layer of dough and folding and rolling the dough to form thin layers or « leaves ».
– Abaisser ( to roll out): to roll out a sheet of pastry dough to the desire thickness with a rolling pin.
– Suivre la Pousse (the fermentation and the rising): the expansion of the fermented dough caused by the yeast during the rising.
NOTE: The minimum age requirement for the croissant class is 17.
We will not accept children under the age of 17, and we will make no exceptions. Those 17 yo students, still considered minors, must be accompanied by an adult registered for the class.
NOTE: Layered yeast-leavened dough requires a lot of prep time, preferably starting the day before. The time requirement and technicalities are what make croissants so demanding. So, we will be doing a little prep work for certain stages to ensure that you’ll be able to enjoy your Viennoiseries at the end of the course, but you’ll still work all the steps during the course.
