Hi Madison.

To determine if your 15 qt mixer can handle this croissant recipe, it’s important to consider the total weight of the ingredients and the manufacturer’s recommendations for handling dense doughs such as those for bread or pastries.

Total weight of the croissant dough recipe:

Flour: 1500 g

Sugar: 224 g

Salt: 24 g

Milk: 750 g

Butter: 100 g

Yeast: 70 g

Approximate total weight: 2668 g (2.7 kg).

Factors to consider:

▪️Recommended dough capacity:

15 qt mixers typically have a maximum capacity for hydrated doughs (50-60% hydration) of approximately 4-5 kg. Since this dough has a high hydration level (~70%), the 2.7 kg recipe is within the limits of your mixer.

▪️Limits for denser doughs:

If you increase the recipe quantity, ensure the total weight does not exceed 4-5 kg to avoid damaging the motor or overloading the mechanism.

How many batches can it handle?

Your mixer could handle 1.5 to 2 times this base croissant recipe (approximately 4-5 kg of dough) in a single batch, depending on the density of the dough and the motor’s power. However, it’s recommended to start with one batch at a time to assess the performance and prevent overloading the equipment.

Note: Check your mixer’s manual to confirm the specific limits for bread or pastry doughs.

I hope this information helps!

Best regards.
