ok folks did these, didn't come out as I hoped!

At the final stage I noticed layers as in the video but the very middle was still very soft and doughy, unlike in the vid. Did this not ferment properly and if not why?
The dough was very, very sticky in the second stage after first fermentation I lost dough that stuck to clingfilm. Maybe I needed more flour?
Also, when cooked the interior wasn't always fully cooked so maybe I should decrease the oven temperature?
Salted butter or unsalted?
Despite not being perfect they were enjoyed by all but a little guidance for more perfection would be appreciated!

Olly.

Hi pinoficara I have just completed the first stage using the directions and exact ingredients above. I am concerned that my 'dough' is a little bit loose and sticky. Could this be a problem?

Your recipe says 1 teaspoon of yeast and your video says 1 tablespoon. Which one is correct?

Hi,

Great recipe, very light and flaky. However I would like to know if I can let the dough rise instead of letting it ferment.

Merci

Deville, I tried different places to let the croissants proof. To me the best is the fridge, for other 8 hours or more :) HIH

The indicated amount of milk, in grams is wrong, it should be 680g. Sorry!
