Great Looking!    is that an egg wash?   does that keep them from 'fluffing' at all?

They are beautiful....where is the recipe?

thank you all for the lovely comments. Yup, this WAS my actual 1st time making croissants at home. I was surprised myself to see the croissants turned out that nice.

chas6000: I'm not really sure if it was the egg wash that made the bread all fluffy. I guess it was the repetition of folding & rolling the dough after you put in the butter that determines how fluffy the croissants will be. The more you fold and roll, the more layer the croissants will have, hence fluffier croissants! :)

Beautiful results..well done!!

This is my second time making croissants. The recipe can be found here:

Delicious:Days - Croissants

I must say this time the dough was much sturdier than the first time. It was somehow easier to handle and tasted pretty good. The techniques were pretty much the same though. Give it a try, you'll love it! :-)

heyy, i am about to try to make croissants for the first time! and i'm trying to decide on which recipe i should use.. I have to say both of your batches look incredible!! but i was wondering which recipe you preferred for taste? 

I use Beth Hensperger's basic recipe, with some tips from Julia Child, and my own input.  I let them rise till really puffy after shaping, up to 3 hours, depending on the day and the weather, and I roll in a whole pound of butter.  They're my absolute favourite, though I recently made Dan Leader's sourdough croissants and they were also very, very good.

Beautiful tasty looking croissants!  Great photo's too!
