Hi Mattia.
Welcome to the Scoolinary community.
If you are following Chef Bachour’s first collection recipe, here are the recommendations for your inquiry:
1. Total dough weight:
You have a total of 1850 g of dough (1350 g of dough and 500 g of butter for laminating), and you want each croissant to weigh 60 g.
2. Number of croissants:
If each croissant should weigh 60 g, you can make 30 croissants with that amount of dough.
3. Adjusting the triangle measurements:
In the original recipe, the dough triangles have a base of 9 cm and a height of 38 cm, which results in 16 croissants with an approximate weight of 112 grams per croissant.
Now, to make 30 croissants with the same total weight of laminated dough, you need to reduce the size of the triangles.
4. Triangle size for 60 g croissants:
To make each croissant weigh 60 g, the dough triangles need to be smaller. The new base of each triangle should be about 4.8 cm, while keeping the height at 38 cm.
Therefore, to make 60 g croissants, each triangle should have a base of 4.8 cm and a height of 38 cm. This will give you 30 croissants with the desired weight.
We hope this information is helpful.
Best regards.
