First go at sourdough croissant, are they a bit under-proofed? Any other tips?

They look good for a first attempt. What are the dimensions you cut them to and the raw weight in grams?

2

u/Capital-Courage5762 3d ago

Dimension of triangles were approx 8cm x 26cm but the dough seemed to contract a bit so they’re not quite as big as I’d like. I just followed this YouTube for recipe and method https://youtu.be/vgauxG8moUg?si=xiZqMaI4FTHhrFxv

Looks deliciouso

u/MarloAura 2d ago

looks like a solid start for your first try. tbh sourdough can be so finicky compared to regular yeast, just give them a bit more time next time and theyll probably turn out great.

u/CottonCandySubmarine 2d ago

Those look great to me; a lot better than I could probably ever do 😂.

2

u/Academic-Side-4245 2d ago

they look solid tbh, way better than most “first attempts” on here
only thing i’d tweak next time is maybe push the proof a bit longer and see if you get a little more puff and honeycomb inside

1

u/Capital-Courage5762 2d ago

I thought that may be the case. Thanks for your advice 👍

2

u/Original-Finish7305 2d ago

u/Capital-Courage5762 17h ago

Thank you, I’ve been baking sourdough bread for the last three years and have got to a decent consistency. Sourdough croissant seemed like the next obvious step!
