Good To Know

  • Layered yeast-leavened dough requires a lot of prep time, preferably starting the day before. The time requirement and technicalities are what make croissants so demanding. Therefore, so stages will be done to ensure that you will be able to enjoy your pastries at the end of the course. You’ will still work these stages during the course..
  • After 5 minutes of delay we shall begin the course without the late client. After 15 minutes without anybody showing up, the class will automatically be cancelled, and your booking may be treated as a last minute non-refundable cancellation.
  • Minimum numbers apply. There is a possibility of cancellation after confirmation if there is not enough passengers to meet requirements. In the event of this occurring, you will be offered an alternative or full refund
  • Please advise your Paris contact details at time of booking; this information is for the tour operator to keep on record for contact purposes only

What You’ll Experience

Only 6 participants in each class. Ages 15 and up. After 3 hours spent with our French Chef, you will have acquired the know-how to make croissants that are light, crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth soft on the inside. You will learn and perform each step in making classic buttery croissants and pain au chocolat (chocolate-filled croissants). On Thursday morning classes, we offer to make bicolor croissants filled with chocolate pralin. You will learn some specific techniques : • Make the Beurrage: to add butter to the dough that is called pâton. • Pâton : the block of croissant dough after the butter has been folded into the detrempe to form an envelope. • Make the turns: to give turns to the croissant dough (pâton) by rolling the dough and folding it. • Feuilleter (to make into leaves): enclosing the butter in a layer of dough and folding and rolling the dough to form thin layers or leaves. • Follow "la pousse" (the fermentation and the rising) : the expansion of the fermented dough caused by the yeast during the rising.
