Croissants are one of the favorite breads i bake always here. I prefer to bake with my own produced dough. We have the facility to buy laminated dough, ready right on supermarket shelves, but nothing compared with home made ones. I make my dough here same as Brioche, but with less eggs than Brioches, with excellent unsalted butter. Here, the best one is from a century Brazilian brand we call Aviação, produced since 1920. www.laticiniosaviacao.com.br The other main ingredient is patience. My laminated dough is folded 5 times after been rolled thin and refrigerated for 3 hours between each folded. It turns superb, nothing compared with some industrialized croissants we find everywhere. I bake one, with cinnamon sugar, sliced fresh bananas and cubes of authentic Petit Suisse cheeses, hmmmmm.....delicious. This kind of filling is amazing to enrich that superb recipe of Naan bread KAF posted for us months ago. Nice post....as always! Thanks Ricardo! Susan
