Spent this past week in San Francisco working alongside the Tartine croissant team, helping bridge SF + LA. It was a lot of work, and it wouldn’t have been possible without some key players who made the transition so much smoother. I’m really appreciative of everyone involved—such a rewarding experience.
❤️ Till we meet again.

We have a schedule for everything. Lamination. Mixing. Scaling. Packing.
Take a quick look on what an average mix looks like. All of this takes about 45 minutes, not including the pressing of the dough after the bulk fermentation.
You'll see scaling out the perferments, adding wets, dries, and taking note of mixing time and temperature. Then comes scaling out what each dough weighs and pre-shaping it. It rests in the freezer for a few hours and then into the walk-in overnight.

This is what teamwork looks like.
So much goes on behind the scenes from the time the ingredients hit the mixer, the freezer, to the sheeter, the proofer, the oven, and then the display case.
(I skipped a few steps.)
I'm already out of breath.
Look at the honeycomb! (inside interior structure)
It's open, airy, medium size pockets which is created by repeatedly folding and rolling dough with butter, forming numerous alternating layers.
During baking, the butter melts and produces steam. This steam, trapped within the dough layers, expands, causing the pastry to rise and creating the distinct, airy structure.

Charring the aromatics, blanching the bones, toasting the spices, and prepping the sides...4 hours later it was finished. Served with fresh thick cut noodles of course!!!
Everyone has their preferences, but I like my pho to be flavorful from the spices so I add extra.

Happiest birthday to my favorite Funny.
When I take things too literally and serious, you remind me that....it's not that serious. 🙃 Thanks for always making me laugh.

"Cross lamination is an advanced pastry technique for croissants and viennoiserie that creates distinct, visible surface stripes and extra-flaky layers. It involves cutting, rotating, and stacking, or placing, strips of laminated dough at 90-degree angles onto a base dough, which is then rolled and baked."

Trying new techniques and shapes. Check out the last picture for visuals.
