A Slow Morning in the Kitchen

There's something special about making croissants from scratch. In this video, I share my first attempt at homemade spiral croissants, filled with a creamy pistachio pastry cream. Every fold, every layer, and every bake was a learning experience, and I'm happy to share the journey with you. Whether you're baking along or simply enjoying a cozy baking video, I hope this inspires you to try something new. Thank you for watching and supporting Thyme Travelers. 💚 📝 Recipe Dough 4 cups strong bread flour 2¼ tsp instant yeast ¼ cup sugar 1½ tsp salt 1 cup + 2 tbsp warm milk 3½ tbsp softened butter Butter Block 250–280 g cold butter Pastry Cream 2 cups milk 2 eggs ½ cup sugar 3 tbsp cornstarch 2–4 tbsp pistachio cream Instructions Mix and knead the dough until smooth.
