So, I found a great croissant recipe.
These are amazing…
The dough is remarkably simple. It just takes time. The claim is the dough has 729 layers. So I challenged myself to do the math.

You start with a square of dough and a smaller square of butter. Then you place the butter on the square of dough so you have a diamond of butter on a square of dough. Wrap the dough around the butter and you have 1 layer of butter in the dough
Roll out to a rectangle. Fold in thirds… 3 layers
Repeat the roll and fold. Now there are 9 layers.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes
Roll out to a rectangle, Fold in thirds…27 layers
Repeat the roll and fold. Now there are 81 layers
Chill the dough for another 30 minutes
Roll out to a rectangle, Fold in thirds…243layers
Repeat the roll and fold, now I get 729 layers…

It’s a simple progression in terms of math. I love this stuff.
The croissants for tomorrow are chilling. I plan to bake them in the morning.
I made mini croissants from the scraps and they are yummy! The dough is amazingly light. Wow.
