Well, we survived Croissant Week. 🥐👏 All that lamination, all those butter layers, all that patience. You all showed up and did the hard thing, and I couldn’t be prouder of the folds that came through this kitchen. Now it’s time to let summer all the way in. ☀️🍑 This week we’re baking Brown Butter Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls, and this one’s personal. I’m a South Carolina boy. Down here in the Deep South, peach cobbler isn’t just dessert. It’s a staple and a delicacy both at once. It’s the thing that shows up at the church supper, the Sunday table, and the family reunion, and everybody’s grandmother swears hers is the best. That cobbler is in my bones. 🧡 So I did what I always end up doing. I took something I grew up loving and turned it into something we all already know by heart, the cinnamon roll. Peach cobbler on the inside. Pillowy roll on the outside. Brown butter running through the whole thing. And a streusel top that’ll have your house smelling like a Carolina summer. 🔥🍑 And I’ll be honest, this one came out of my daughter Payton. She’s always challenging me, always poking at me to take it one step further. Don’t play it safe, Dad. So here we are. Cobbler in a cinnamon roll. That’s a Payton bake if I ever made one. ⭐ No fresh peaches where you are yet? Don’t worry. Frozen and canned work great, and I’ll walk you through every swap this week so nobody gets left out.

🥐✨ This Weekend We Laminate ✨🥐 Alright, you all asked for it... so we're doing it. Now before anybody panics, I want you to think about where you've already been. This isn't some giant leap. It's simply the next step on a staircase you've already been climbing. 🧈 Remember Brioche Week? That's where you learned to handle butter. Adding it one piece at a time. Watching for the break. Keeping it cool so it works with the dough instead of against it. That was your foundation. 🥮 Then came Babka. You learned that cold, firm butter holds its shape, while warm butter melts into the dough and ruins your layers. Classic Sourdough Croissant: https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/recipes/sourdough-croissants Yeasted Croissant: https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/recipes/classic-french-croissants Keep the butter cold. Keep the layers distinct. Sound familiar? That's lamination in plain clothes. 🦓 Then there was Zebra Bread. Stack. Fold. Roll. Repeat. Every fold multiplied the layers. Chill before you roll. Go easy on the flour. Roll it with confidence. You've already done those movements with your own hands. ✨ Croissants are simply all three of those skills coming together. 🥐 Butter control from brioche. 🥐 Cold butter creating layers from babka. 🥐 Fold-and-roll technique from zebra bread. You're not starting from scratch. You're putting together things you already know. ❤️ We're gonna go slow, one fold at a time, and I'll walk you through every single step. 🛒 Before Saturday, gather a few things: 🧈 Good butter. The higher the butterfat, the better. European-style if you can find it. 🌡️ A cool kitchen, if you've got one... and a little patience. ⚖️ Your digital scale, because we're weighing everything. Bring your questions. Bring your nerves. Bring your butter. By Saturday afternoon you'll be holding something flaky, buttery, and golden that you made with your own two hands.
