    HELLO FRIENDS!! So, the internet loves croissants. And, coincidentally, so do I. So after falling down a cronut hole of croissant content - I decided, I needed to make some frickin croissants. And surprisingly, Black Box Bakery in Denver agreed to take me on as a pastry apprentice! Not only did I get a high-altitude pastry bootcamp - learning how to laminate my own dough, and roll my own classic croissants - but I also got to create my own custom, semi-goth, cream-filled croissant CUBE - that you can actually try at Black Box Bakery if you go there in person!! What do you think? Beetlejuice or beetleJUICY?
    A big thank you to everyone at Black Box Bakery for helping us out with this video; make sure to check them out here! ​​www.blackboxbakery.com/
    and / blackbox_bakery
    If you’re interested in trying our custom croissant cube for yourself, they will be available Friday, Saturday, & Sunday for the next month! You can either pre-order the Safiya x Black Box Croissant online for pickup here order.toasttab.com/online/bla... or visit Black Box Bakery in person while supplies last!
    (this video is NOT sponsored by Black Box Bakery and we are not receiving any portion of their sales - they are just a cool small business we love!)

    If anyone in the comments EVER complains about you posting fewer videos: girl, please never listen. You make such long, quality videos, it's worth waiting for them with how in-depth and informative and fun they are. For me (and probably for other people), it's like waiting for movies to premiere. Except the movie is a surprise, so it's even cooler. Keep on keeping on.

    I think using the dough scraps for the black stripe was probably the main issue. Because the dough wasn't made black from the start, trying to incorporate the color into already mixed dough meant it ended up getting overly mixed, so it got chewy and stretchy. It didn't quite fluff up the way the rest of the dough did.

    • @PrincessTsunade12
      @PrincessTsunade12 Před měsícem +63

      I was just thinking that. "Wow, I wonder how much that dough will be over mixed than the rest," and I was right! Well, they were just prototypes anyway, and they still looked great in the end.

      I did a little google sleuthing and it looks like the bakery is closed two days a week (probably for general prep along with letting the staff take a break) so my guess is that Saf came in during off hours for the main bulk of filming. Between teaching a novice and working around filming set up, wouldn't surprise me if this small test batch is all that she made. But for a first timer without a culinary school background, she did really good!

    When in culinary school for Patisserie and Baking, part of the first courses is to whisk your Whipped Cream by hand. So in a way, yes, it is a kind of hazing but also to make you appreciate how Bakers have been doing it for decades before Mixers, aside from present day Bakeries that don't have the Machines/Machines that break down.
