FREEZE? You can FREEZE the dough?! *head desk* I have made homemade croissants on one memorable occasion and didn't get to try any. At 15 and with a couple of loafs of bread under my belt I decided what my mother really needed for Mother's Day was a wonderful breakfast in bed including homemade croissants. I started at midnight, quickly discovered that we were out of butter and eggs, went to the grocery store where I discovered that you can't buy eggs after midnight if you're under 18, got my sister to buy eggs and started around 1:30 am on the actual baking. I did no prep, I kept having to wait for things to warm back up or chill back down. I ended up sitting on a stool watching them bake at 7am when my mother woke up and wandered in the kitchen. I handed her the timer with 10 minutes left on it and told her to take them out when it beeped and went and passed out until dinner. And so my mother had to make her own breakfast to go with the coissants and by the time I woke up they were all gone but everyone agreed they were delicious! I still get teased about that. Now I'm going to have to try again! And mmm those ham and cheese ones like wonderful....
