This is an attempt at recreating a recipe from Bread by Us, a bakery in Ottawa. (originally posted on their Instagram account 2020/Apr/03). While the original seems a little short on detail, we managed to fill in the blanks well enough to get good results first time. This is mainly an attempt to record those blanks so that we can repeat this in future. Keith Baldwin -

Crispy Croissants Crispy Croissants
I wanted to make my mom's favorite croissants at home.It is important to continuously chill the dough to keep it from becoming too soft and difficult to work with. It is even better if you also chill your hands before handling the dough.You may also want to turn down the heat in the kitchen.If you should find air bubbles while rolling, try to gently move it toward the edge with the rolling pin to remove it.

Crispy Croissants Crispy Croissants
After I tried many recipes, I finally arrived at a recipe that I'm satisfied with!When you are sealing the edges of the dough together during Step 5, try not to let any air in. If a large amount of air gets in, then poke with a toothpick to let it out. If it's a small amount, don't worry about it! The dough will stick to the board and rolling pin as you repeatedly fold the dough, so dust with a small amount of flour. For 10 croissants. Recipe by Chikayan cookpad.japan -
