I recently purchased a Mockmill Pro 200 and been experimenting. This is made with 80% Hard Red and 20% Red Fife. With poolish (yeasted) and totally 100% Organic Unsifted Flour and laminated with 84% Butter. The tricky part is the dough, needs to be more hydrated, easily adjusting 5%-7% more water/milk and a bit more mixing to develop gluten to at least 80%-90%. Flavour is phenomenal, makes a white croissant seem tasteless. The flavour notes are yoghurt, nutty, and brown butter. Not wheaty at all!

Whole grain is always better, the taste and crunchiness is on another level. Currently I use minimum 70% whole grain.
Congrats for achieving those great croissants
oh my god. imagine biting into this
These look incredible! No idea what any of this means, I am yet to try baking croissants but it seems a bit too intimidating at the moment. I’d be super happy if I could get results like this!
