Croissant Class in Paris

Join our Croissant Class in Paris, and let one of our Pastry Chefs, using some of the finest ingredients, show you how to bake the quintessential Parisian buttery (and some will say decadent) Viennoiserie: le croissant. The complexity resided in making this leavened pastry dough with a perfect lamination. A technique a classically trained French pastry chef – and you after this baking course - would reapply to make Chocolate Croissants, Kouign Aman or even Mille Feuille (aka Napoleon).

Our Croissant Class in Paris Step by Step

Croissant Class in Paris Step 1

STEP 1: All our croissant classes in Paris are hands-on and we cook from scratch.  First things first: let's weigh the ingredients.

STEP 3: And then it is time to fold - the right temperature, pressure and motion will all be critical to your success in the first of three foldings.

STEP 4: After multiple folds, the magic of the laminated dough is starting to reveal itself.  It is those multiple layers of doug and butter which make the French croissants so special.

STEP 5: The layers are ready to be rolled into the famous croissant - probably a good time to ask your Chef why it has that ... croissant shape.

I highly recommend the class!

I (and 5 friends) took the croissant making class with Amanda and it was one of the highlights of my time in Paris. I had no idea how many steps were involved in making croissants, but Amanda walked us through them all, giving pointers along the way. It was great learning the process and also picking up some general baking tips and tricks. The croissants we made were delicious and I enjoyed the ones we got to take with us for days. I highly recommend the class and would definitely take another if I find myself in Paris again!

Discover French Culture through Other Food Experiences

Discovering culture through food is what we want to do when we travel. So we have developed all our experiences with that simple idea in mind: ensure that you learn both about the topic at hand, but also about French culture in the process. So in our food tours, we will talk about the history of various aspects of French food, in our cooking class in Paris about how certain dishes became so important in our culture. During our wine tastings, we will explore the regional differences in French culture. And, a regional residential holiday is an opportunity to deep dive French food culture to its core and foundation: the regional gastronomies, and the concept of terroir. Follow the links to explore further.
