Hi ABSky Sports Management Agency.
Using flour with more than 15% protein for croissants may result in dough that is too strong and difficult to work with. This high protein level increases gluten strength, which could reduce elasticity and make laminating more challenging, ultimately compromising the final texture of the product.
To match the recipe that calls for 12-13% protein and a PL of 0.4-0.7, it’s recommended to mix flour with more than 15% protein with a lower-protein flour (such as all-purpose or pastry flour) in a 50/50 ratio or adjust according to the desired protein content.
Practical tip:Conduct a small test using different ratios to find the mix that offers the best balance between strength and elasticity. This ensures proper gluten development without losing the softness needed for successful laminating.
