Daily Activity 7 August 2019

Hi guys, I'm back again and as usual I will tell you my activities in the 2nd week of my practice class at the kitchen in Makassar Tourism Polytechnic. On Wednesday, I arrived at 7:30, before I entered the kitchen, I tidied up the uniform I was wearing before entering the pantry.

This week, my group was assigned to make Croissants. My group immediately took the dough that we had stored in the freezer overnight and we immediately made Croissants. First, we cut the butter/croissant shortening, then we store it in the chiller. Then we flattened the dough using a rolling pin until the dough becomes thin. Then the dough that we have pressed is closed, and stored in the chiller for 1 hour.

After an hour, we spread the dough and flattened until the it reached 50cm in length and we fold it once, and put it back in the chiller. We did it for 3 times, then after finishing, we flattened the dough again. Then the shape of the dough we measure was 8x35, after that we shaped the dough. Then we put the dough that has been shaped on the baking tray and store at room temperature for 1-2 hours but yesterday I was proofing it too fast hehehehe. When the dough is ready to bake, don't forget to egg wash it and bake for 15-20 minutes at a temperature of 175 degrees. After that I saw my croissant and it failed again because I hadn’t proof it long enough :(
