Breakfast Baking: The Art of Making Croissants and Viennoiserie
An all-levels baking course covering enriched dough, lamination and the preparation of croissants and other viennoiserie.
About this course
Participants learn how enriched dough is mixed, kneaded and rolled, then use lamination to layer butter through the dough rather than blending it in. The course involves making classic croissants, pain au chocolat, and bi-colour raspberry pastries in both pain au chocolat and breakfast-pastry formats. Instruction focuses on the processes behind these products and gives learners the opportunity to practise preparing several types of viennoiserie.
What you'll learn
- Mix and knead enriched dough
- Roll dough to prepare it for lamination
- Apply the lamination process to create layered pastry
- Make classic croissants and pain au chocolat
- Prepare bi-colour raspberry pastries in two formats
