Flour for croissants

[Sussan Estela Olaya]

Hi Maria.

Welcome to the Scoolinary community!

Yes, it is possible to make croissants with whole wheat flour, but it’s not recommended to simply replace white flour with whole wheat without adjusting the recipe. Whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid, has less available gluten, and results in a denser texture, which can affect lamination and layer development.

As a suggestion, look for a recipe specifically designed for whole wheat flour, as it will include the necessary adjustments in hydration, yeast, and technique to achieve the best results.

We hope this information is helpful.

Best regards.
