Über diese Aktivität
Croissants were once made from plain old ordinary bread dough; nowadays, they are made from pâte feuilletée levée (layered yeast-leavened dough). It is surely one of the most technical dough in French pâtisserie.

After 3 hours spent with our chef, you will have acquired the know-how to make croissants that are light, crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth soft on the inside. You will learn and perform each step in making classic butter croissants and croissants with almonds, but you will also learn how to make pain au chocolat (chocolate-filled croissants), pain aux raisins (raisin croissants) with pastry cream, and other variations of the croissant that are as delicious as they are unexpected.

You will learn some specific techniques :
• Make the Detrempe: mixture of flour, water, salt, butter, yeast, used in the preparation of croissant.
• Make the Beurrage: to add butter to the dough that is called pâton.
• Pâton : the block of croissant dough after the butter has been folded into the detrempe to form an envelope.
• Make the turns: 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, before cutting and shaping it.
• Follow la pousse (the fermentation and the rising) : the expansion of the fermented dough caused by the yeast during the rising.

What an experience! Julie was so sweet and patient. She made a labor intensive process seem quick and easy. The class size was small, which was nice. We made the croissant dough, which was then wrapped and put in the refrigerator for the next day. We were then given a wrapped pack of dough, presumably made by a class the previous day, which we used to make 4 croissants and 4 pain au chocolate. We were given a bag and foil to take home what we didn't eat. I really enjoyed the class and hopefully will be inspired to try to make them at home. My only disappointment was that I was under the impression we would make pain aux raisins as well, but we did not, we were merely shown pictures in a Cookbook.

I have a whole new respect for the art of croissant making! The instructor was excellent, the class started on time, her english was perfect and we ended up with croissant to go which was amazing! Totally recommend this activity.

This class was a truly unique and entirely French experiencea chocolate-filled reprieve from historical walking tours. We were staying in Montmartre, so the bakery was close and easy to find. Our head baker Julie was kind, friendly, and immensely helpful without being overbearing. We had so much fun encouraging and teasing one another as our croissants and pan au chocolat came together. The process was abbreviated, sort of like on a cooking show where you skip the long wait for the dough to rise. Plus, we got to keep everything we baked!

Pretty fun class and the croissants were delicious. The class itself did not have a very French feel but it was still nice.
