I love this post and can relate to it:
I'm out here in Siberia, developing recipes, including croissants, often at night.
I know what you mean about the 'Twilight Zone' and the 'Witching Hour'.
sometimes I work alone in a production facility that looks like that place out of the film 'SAW' and it is SCARY as hell - can't wait to get out of there.
Other nights I am way to busy to think about zombies outside...
The first few days of croissant trials gave me brioche-like textures, tasted great, but not what I needed. Gradually, I am getting things flakier and more developed - the biggest change for me was the butter.
Thanks for the post!
Glad we could help, Suki - stay warm! PJH
