haha.. curious, & want to one day do this.. <3
Do I actually need to wait a whole day? 19:19
I have a recommendation for a future video: soft caramel recipe
I have been waiting forever for a croissant recipe from you ❤
Can you please tell us which BRAND of butter you used? I used Kerry Gold a few years ago and it was so soft (even though I it was chilled to the exact same temperature as the dough) that it squished out between the layers, no matter how gently the pages were pressed with the rolling pin. It was fully encased in the dough but broke out. Many, many hours wasted!
Just watched the video a second time — you use Kerry Gold too! I don't know what to think. Must be some of that YouTube magic
This is one of the best instructional videos I have seen for croissants. I love that you explain every step and are diligent in the measurements and why. I have made croissants before and while the taste is always good, they are never perfect (leakage, uneven layers etc). You have shown me where I have gone wrong and I will definitely use your tricks
I made croissant once using joshua weissmann's recipe. tasted amazing, but was a real pain to do! When I saw this video I yelled to my boyfriend 'OH MY GOD JOHN RELEASED A CROISSANT VIDEO! Guess I'll have to make croissants".
I really want to make this. Thanks for making it so simple to make it. ❤
I've tried to make croissants twice in life, utter failure both times. Tropical climate and not super cold a/c are a terrible combo, I'll try it again tho.
I love your recipes please continue teaching aof us 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
i actually was planning on making it for a month but i mostly understand your way of explaining, how to cook or bake smthn. But you didnt have the recipe uploaded on yt so i just gave up but noww im gonna do it cuz you explain all the steps in a proper manner and your videos feel more "human" and easy to follow ^~^
100% not going to make. But 100% going to watch whole video.
Everyone..have a wonderful day..blessings and much love to you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My parents won't want me to bother making these, but, that hasn't stopped me before
I’ve made croissants a couple of times and you’ve motivated me to make them again. And thanks for the tip of clipping the wide end before rolling, I will try this.
Hi John K! 1) Why did you add 1/2 cup of cold water to the 85 degree yeast water? 2) No one should buy those packets of yeast unless they don't care about money. I also bought the big jar but how long does it stay good for? Should we keep it in the fridge (or freezer)?
I was thinking of trying to make it but the butter sheet intimidated me.
This is on my "to-do next" list. A perfectly explained demonstration of your skills, sir. Thank you 👏👏👏👏
What will happend if we use instant yeast?
I’ll definitely make this recipe! Love it! 😍
I really want to try this, I have been wanting to for awhile and you make it look doable, Thanks for the video and I will give it a shot.
This felt very authentic.
Probably his most requested recipe 😅
I have no intention of making, but I love to watch you bake, it’s sooooo relaxing! You’re so gifted❤️
I’m totally gonna try my hand at this!’
I just came back from an European trip & i am craving those croissants so i am gonna try making these🤞☺️
I know you don't normally reply. But I just wanted to let you know, my daughter is only 15 years old, watches your videos all the time and actually follows your recipe to the T. Always has amazing results 🙌🏼 💕
Is there any difference between active yeast and instant yeast? Thnx 🙏
Next time we get a blizzard and get snowed in I am going to make these!!
Your Croissants looks amazingly delicious and so beautiful, I would love to use your recipes for my cooking show. You did excellent job.
