Baking has always been my way of relaxing and expressing creativity. There's something magical โจ about transforming simple ingredients like flour , butter ๐ง, and yeast into a delicious masterpiece. One of my favorite pastries to bake is the croissantโa buttery, flaky, and airy delight that pairs perfectly with coffee or jam. Making croissants ๐ฅ from scratch is a labor of love ๐. It involves laminating dough, which means folding and rolling butter into the dough multiple times to create those signature layers. Though it takes patience, the result is incredibly rewarding. The moment I pull a tray of golden-brown croissants from the oven, I feel a sense of accomplishment.
