The classroom lesson for this week's bake is up. (If you find these lessons useful, like and subscribe when it takes you to Youtube please)
If you want to understand why the grated butter method actually works before Saturday, this is the place to start. We cover the science of lamination, how to choose your butter, both the yeasted and sourdough paths step by step, and what goes wrong and why.
The lesson is in the Classroom under Croissant Bread: The Flaky Loaf.
Both recipes are already live in the Recipe Pantry. Yeasted version for same-day bakers, sourdough version for the planners who want to build over a couple of days.
Saturday we bake together. Working thread opens that morning and I'll be there all day.
If you haven't frozen your butter yet, do it tonight.
And we're doing it two ways, like always:
🧈 Yeasted, for the same-day crowd. Start in the morning, eat it that night.
🌙 Sourdough, for the planners. A longer build and an overnight cold proof for real tang.
Both recipes land in the Recipe Pantry this week, and we bake together Saturday morning in the working thread. I'll be right there with you, start to finish.
Perfection is not required. Progress is.
