Renowned French-Swiss chocolatier Amaury Guichon has once again surprised us with his latest creation. The pastry chef, famous for his breathtaking chocolate sculptures, this time made a giant croissant and shared a video on Instagram showcasing the process of making this flaky delicacy. The video takes us through the chef’s process right from mixing and kneading the dough to forming the crust and rolling it out perfectly. Guichon starts by combining the flour, milk, yeast and other required ingredients, mixing them well by hand and then with a spatula. He then adds pieces of butter and mixes the dough again, letting it rest before rolling it out into thin sheets.
Next, we see Amaury Guichon making the chocolate-flavored dough, which follows the same process as before. He then places the chocolate dough on top of the regular dough, and rolls it out into an even thinner sheet. With expert precision, he cuts the sheet into a long triangle and rolls it out into the shape of a croissant.
After letting the dough rest, Guichon puts the giant croissant in the oven, and once it’s cooked, sprinkles powdered sugar over it. The final touch is a quick blast with a flame torch, which gives the croissant a gorgeous glossy finish. The result is a truly show-stopping giant croissant, almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
