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...
I want that so bad!!
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!

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.

I wouldn't have survived the first day!
Fortunately the attendees were all 9 year old boys so they didn't care as long as it had frosting.
It completely fell apart without eggs, of course.

She really is.
I set aside half the dough; I wonder if I can sprinkle salt in between the layers and do a few more folds...
