Croissants: Near Perfection

About  month ago I wrote about an attempt to make croissants and pain au chocolat. They tasted good but were difficult to shape and too brown.  I tried again with lower gluten flour and a cooler oven.  The outside of the croissants were really flakey whilst the inside had a real honeycomb texture.  They tasted lovely, although my oven definitely has hot spots.  Looks like croissants are no longer my baking nemesis : )

Really good lamination on the Pain au Chocolat

Croissants were much easier to shape with lower gluten flour

Mr Vitty thinks they need to be bigger....
