Croissants

Croissants are quite a challenge. The ingredients are simple, namely top quality butter, but the challenge is in the process. Feel that I have finally mastered them and really enjoying making them.

Last bake in 2020. 21kg dough mixed and baked plus 42 sausage rolls, 20 mince pies,88 cheese scones, 5 rye sourdough, 23 stollen bites, 24 chocolate cookies, 5 seeded rye crackers and 6 Christmas tea loaves.

Oh and please tell us what your name means.
