@allforthecrumbs: My beautiful croissants baked up so flat. I cannot tell if they were underproofed or overproofed. Croissant experts - please help! Here are the deets: - 20% King Arthur Bread flour, 80% King Arthur AP flour - kept cool while laminating but not chilled completely before proofing - proofed at ~77° until puffy, very jiggly, and visible layer separation - baked at 380° for 10min and then 325° for 20min #croissant #help #adviceneeded #proofing #pastry
underproofed, but also was there a lot of butter leakage when baking?

Hi I’ve been having this same issue! Haven’t done a new test yet but I believe these are under proofed based on the advice I’ve been getting and research I’ve done! The layer separation is a good indicator that they’re getting there but I think you want to wait until they look even fluffier and the “shoulders” of each layer look really rounded and almost start to blend together. But they look beautiful :)

From my very unprofessional opinion, I’d guess these are overproofed. I don’t think they’re under because if you look at the bottom center, those layers look like they’ve expanded. If you look at the bottom sides (right and left), those aren’t rounded. How long did you proof them for? I could be totally wrong. You should post these to the croissant subreddit. That’s where I go for help. I’m curious what others have to say. Either way, I’m sure they taste like perfection!
