Renowned The Franco-Swiss chocolatier Amaury Guichon Guichon has once again left us speechless with his latest creation. The pastry chef, known for his impressive chocolate sculptures, has this time made a giant croissant and shared a video on Instagram showing the process of making the flaky delight. The video shows us the chef’s method of mixing and kneading the dough, forming layers and rolling it out to perfection. Guichon starts by combining flour, milk, sourdough and other essential ingredients, mixing them thoroughly by hand and then using spatulas. He then adds cubes of butter and mixes the dough again, letting it rest before rolling it out into thin sheets.
Next, we see Amaury Guichon create a chocolate-flavoured dough, following the same process as before. He then places the chocolate dough on top of the regular dough, rolling it out into an even thinner sheet. With expert precision, he cuts the sheet into a long triangle and rolls it into a croissant shape.
After letting the dough rest, Guichon pops the giant croissant into the oven and, once baked, dusts it with powdered sugar. The finishing touch is a quick blowtorch, which gives the croissant a spectacular glazed finish. The result is a truly spectacular giant croissant, almost too beautiful to eat. Almost.
