Hi Umama Nasir

If you want to make a 1/4 batch of the full Croissant dough recipe, the formula for calculating the measurements of dough and butter will be as follows:

Butter:

The full recipe of butter measures 30 x 30 = 900 cm².

For a 1/4 batch, the amount of butter will be 1/4 of 900 cm², which is 225 cm².

To find the butter measurements, we calculate the square root of 225:

√225 = 15 cm.

Therefore, the butter should have dimensions of 15 x 15 cm.

Dough:

The full recipe of dough measures 50 x 30 = 1500 cm².

For a 1/4 batch, the dough will be 1/4 of 1500 cm², which is 375 cm².

To find the dough dimensions, we use the side of the butter (15 cm) to match:

375 cm² ÷ 15 cm = 25 cm.

Therefore, the dough dimensions will be 25 x 15 cm.

Summary:

Butter: 15 x 15 cm

Dough: 25 x 15 cm

This way, you’ll get the correct proportions for a 1/4 batch of the full recipe.

I hope this information is helpful.
