Congratulations, Jess! I hope this gives you some breathing room and a light at the end of the tunnel.
Sara, ugh. The uncertainty sucks.
Edit: WOO HOO AMY! That is wonderful.
Why yes, I started typing this at 9 am this morning and just now hit post. And missed a bunch of news evidently.
I have been sick on and off (more on) for two weeks. Went to the doctor today - not bronchitis, but I need to stay home for a couple of days. So I am .
yayAmy!
everyone take of themselves
Some recipe I had for croissants included a trick for keeping track of how many folds you've made, but I haven't actually made it and don't remember the trick.
All jobs are strange, sumi, I agree. That sounds pretty good though!
Feel better, Amy.

As you know, Bob, staying at home is one of my favorite things, so lamination should be next on my baking accomplishments list. (I'm sure one could do things in between folds, but would I? Probs no.)
I gave up on folding and just rolled up a couple dozen croissants. They're chilling in the fridge now. I even made some frangipane and put some almond in half a dozen of them...
Mmmmmm, homemade croissants. The last time I attempted them I cheated by chilling them in the freezer for 20 minutes in-between folds (instead of an hour in the fridge). It seemed to work just fine!
OMG I forgot the salt in the dough!
t facepalm
OMG I forgot the salt in the dough!
Not as bad as when I forgot the eggs in the batter for Emmett's birthday cake.
Mary Berry is disappointed in you.
