Description

Join a family in their kitchen for a hands-on masterclass where they share the closely guarded secrets of the perfect homemade croissant. This isn't just a lesson; it’s an invitation into their daily life and traditions. Be guided through every step of their family recipe, starting with the preparation of the dough. Learn the rhythmic process of lamination—carefully folding layers of rich French butter into the dough just as they’ve done for generations. There is no industrial machinery here; you will learn the 'touch' and 'feel' of the pastry, discovering how to tell by hand when the texture is exactly right. As you work together, learn the art of hand-rolling the classic crescent shapes. While the kitchen fills with the warm, comforting scent of baking butter, hear stories of French life and personal tips for getting that perfect golden crunch in a home oven. See that you don’t need a professional laboratory to create a masterpiece—just the right technique and a bit of love. The best part comes at the end: sitting down together at the table to enjoy your warm, flaky croissants straight from the baking tray. Paired with a bowl of coffee or tea, it’s a true taste of a French family morning. Leave the home not as a student, but as a friend, carrying with you a recipe that has been perfected over years and the skills to bake your own French breakfast anywhere in the world.
