      Hi i made the croissants as i stated before the ingredients and end result do not match the results i’m getting

      my croissants are still proofing after 4 hours at 28c and 85% humidity. They are still small

      i used new fresh yeast. I double checked all my ingredients. I’m sure everything i did was correct as this is my 4th time with no success

      please can you find out from the chef?

      thankyou

        Hi Sofia

        You tell us that you measured the ingredients correctly and followed the correct temperatures and times and your dough still hasn’t risen. Do you think it could be due to some failure of your yeast, could it be that it has lost its activity?

        We understand that there are some questions coming up about the croissant course, so we reached out to the content team and they are working to reach out to the chef and ask him about some topics about this course.

        As soon as we have news we will contact you again through this same channel.

        Greetings.

              @Sofia Quadri I have the same problem… My croissant are still proofing after 2h and a half, they’re pretty the same, still small. Followed every step and made everything as in the video recipe. The yeast is fresh, could it be that the long period in the freezer has weakened or deactivated the yeast?

                @Vincenzo Saladino i’m going to try 1/2 of the dried yeast instead of the 1/3 it calls to substitute for. Going to try again today! It’s driving me a little loopy 🙂

                @Sofia Quadri That’s the result I got without resting the dough in the freezer, with a simple fridge rest.
