Criossant size

[Sussan ScoolinaryTeam]

Hi Khulood Humaid.

If we base it on the measurements provided by Chef Bachour in his course (first edition) and you want your croissants to be larger, you can adjust the dimensions of the triangles by increasing their base and height proportionally, either maintaining the size of the laminated dough or adjusting it as needed.

Based on the original course measurements:

The laminated dough in the original recipe measures 38 x 72 cm (yields 16 triangles measuring 9 x 38 cm). This is the triangle size specified by the chef in the recipe.

To make larger croissants, you could reduce the number of triangles to allow for bigger dimensions:

▪️ New base of the triangles: 12 cm (instead of 9 cm).

▪️Proportional height: Keeping the same elongated shape, the height would remain 38 cm.

▪️ Number of triangles: If the base increases to 12 cm, the dough’s width of 72 cm will allow you to cut 6 triangles per row (72 ÷ 12 = 6). This will result in a total of 12 triangles (2 rows of 6 triangles).

Recommendations:

Maintain the proportional dimensions to preserve the classic croissant shape.

If you decide to alter the size of the laminated dough, ensure that the proportion between the base and height of the triangles allows for easy rolling.

Larger croissants will require longer proofing and baking times to ensure proper development.

I hope this information is helpful.

Best regards.
