What goes into 240 croissants

Two croissants dusted with icing sugar

Every Saturday we sell 240 butter croissants, and most weeks they're gone by ten. Here's why we don't just make more.

Three days of work

  1. Thursday: mix the dough and rest it overnight
  2. Friday: fold in the butter, three times, chilling between each fold
  3. Saturday: cut, shape, prove and bake from 3am

The laminating needs a bench colder than the rest of the kitchen, and only one of us does it. That's the real limit.
