Croissant Bread: The Grated Butter Method (Yeasted + Sourdough)

You've seen it all over your feed. The loaf with the flaky, buttery, pull-apart layers that looks like a croissant but bakes like a sandwich loaf. In this video I'm breaking down exactly how it works, why it works, and how to pull it off two ways: a same-day yeasted version and a slow-build sourdough version with a cold overnight proof. The whole bread rides on one move: grate frozen butter directly onto the dough and fold it in. No butter block. No three-day French pastry method. Same science, completely accessible technique. I'll walk you through the science of lamination, how to choose your butter, what goes wrong and why, and how this bake is actually your on-ramp to true croissant lamination down the road.
