Poolish is a mix of flour, water and commercial dry yeast that is fermented for about 3-4 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the fridge. Leaven is a mix of flour, water and a tablespoon of mature sourdough starter that is fermented overnight at room temperature. They are ready when they are about doubled in volume and bubbly. Buttery, flaky, layers shattering upon contact. I love that initial tenderness of the innards when the croissants are pulled apart.
Tartine's Morning Buns are something you'll want to get out of bed for
Step 1 Make the preferment: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk just enough to take the chill off. (The milk should not feel warm or cold to the touch, 80°-90°.) Step 2 Pour the milk. First you prepare a basic yeasted dough and then you laminate it with butter in a long series of folds. There are long stretches of time while you wait for dough to rise or butter to chill. In the end, even the most basic croissant recipe can take two solid days to prepare. For the Preferment 6 ounces/150ml nonfat milk (I used whole milk because that's what I had on hand) 15ml/1 tablespoon active dry yeast 6 1/4 ounces/175g unbleached all-purpose flour For the Dough 20 ml/1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon active dry yeast 16 ounces/470ml whole milk (room temperature) 20 ounces/570g unbleached all-purpose flour Cut the trimmings from croissant dough into rectangles, spread one side with crème fraîche, and slit down the middle. Flip one short end of each rectangle through the opening twice. Proof just.

2 large egg yolks 1 tsp heavy cream or milk I've attempted the croissant Recipe from the Tartine Bread book. The outside looks good but inside is bready. Wondering if the roll-in butter is too little (approx 17%) ? It is a lot less than usual and also less than Tartine's original croissant recipe from their earlier book (Any thoughts on why?) To make the leaven: In a small bowl, mix the starter, flour, and water. Cover and let rise overnight. 3. Add the milk, leaven, and poolish to a large mixing bowl; stir to break up the doughs. Add the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast; mix thoroughly until there are no bits of dry flour. Cover and let rest for 25-40 minutes. Brush the tops of the croissants with the beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish. Step 4: Bake the Croissants. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the baking sheet with the croissants in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and flaky. First, you make the preferment, which was quite simple. Then, you actually begin to make the dough. The dough has quite a long rest before lamination—5 1/2 hours, at a minimum—so these are best started early in the morning, with a plan to bake them the following morning.
First Taste Tartine Bakery brings its classic offering to the Inner
Grab a gallon ziplock bag. Next time I'll be ditching the flour and rolling my butter out in a ziploc out until it is a perfect rectangle. HALLELUJAH. If it gets a little warm (which I doubt because this method makes it a much quicker process), chill the butter for about 30 minutes in the fridge. Cover the bowl with cheesecloth and let the dough rise in a cool place until the volume increases by half, about 1½ hours. Lightly flour a work surface. Transfer the dough to the floured surface and press into a rectangle 2 inches thick. Wrap the rectangle in plastic wrap, or slip it into a plastic bag and seal closed.
Make the Dough This is super quick and takes only 10 or 15 minutes from start to finish. You'll add all of the ingredients to a mixer and knead for a few minutes to get everything worked together so the gluten can start working. Make the Butter Block Preferment 6 ounces nonfat milk 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 6 1/4 ounces all purpose flour Dough 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon active dry yeast 14 ounces whole milk 28 ounces all purpose flour 2 1/2 ounces sugar 1 tablespoon plus one teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted Roll-in Butter and Egg Wash Roll in Butter

Step 2. Bring milk to room temperature. In a big bowl, add polish and leaven to milk and stir. Step 3. Mix in the rest of the ingredients. Cover with saran wrap and let stand for half an hour. Step 4. Knead the dough for 5-10 seconds, cover and let ferment at room temperature for 1.5 hours, doing stretch and folds every half an hour. Proofing Time Tartine's croissant recipe calls for 2-3 hours at approximately 75°F and I treat the morning buns the same way. It's best to avoid proofing the dough in an especially warm room as the butter layers will start to melt. A cooler proofing temperature just means the dough will take longer to increase in size which is fine.
