croissant bread
The tools you must have to make kozon are: sharp wheel knives or other knives, rolling pins (preferably walking hammers) and ruler
The first time I made it, the butter slices were not taken out in advance to defrost and soften them. I'm smart enough to soften it in the microwave. It was about 20 seconds at first, but then I added another 20 seconds. As a result, the butter slices melted and turned liquid, and they were wrapped in the dough in a hurry. This was the direct reason for the first failure. (Because the croissant dough and butter slices are close to the same hardness and hardness, the wrapping is just right)

    No basic fermentation is required to make croissant dough. The dough is frozen and refrigerated, one is so that the dough is as soft as butter slices, and the other is so that it can be easily rolled out after relaxing. The fermentation temperature I use here is 30 degrees.
