Cocoya's Croissant


Cocoya is in his new baking challenge given by Landlord aka my roommate. For two weekends in a row, he has been baking croissants. As people say about croissants, it seems to be pretty hard to create multiple layers and realize the perfect crunchiness in his home-made bread. His first attempt turned out good I say. The shape of each croissant was made evenly with Cocoya's skills. But the texture was a bit too chewy being croissants and unfortunately some parts were burnt. Cocoya worked on the crunchy texture at the second attempt and the layers seemed to be more visible. It was a great idea to brush maple syrup on top as an extra flavor. It added pleasant sweetness in the croissants. The inside is still a bit chewy but we enjoyed croissants more than last time. We requested chocolate croissants as a next challenge. My apartment never gets boring with three of us cooking different things.
