    4. Cool the pieces again down to freezing point.

    5. Lightly moisten the dough.

    6. Roll the croissant tightly at the beginning to ensure a nice structure.

    7. Let the croissants rise in a proofing cabinet at 28°C with a maximum humidity of 70% until the dough has risen well.

    8. For extra shine, brush the croissants before baking with a mixture of egg yolk and 10% whole milk.

    Tip!

    After brushing on the egg mixture, use a sieve to sprinkle extra fine granulated sugar over the croissant for extra shine and crispiness.
