How Authentic Croissants Are Made In France | Regional Eats | Food Insider

Be it summer or winter, there is nothing that warms your heart more than a freshly baked croissant. But achieving these flaky, crunchy layers just can't be done overnight; it takes days of preparation and butter — lots of butter. We visit Frédéric Roy in his bakery in Nice, on the French Riviera, where he shows us how true artisanal croissants are made.

The way he enjoys he’s own croissant is very inspiring.

[chroma]

Not only is he a good artisan with great skill and years of experience, he also knows all about the fermentation science, history, and even bread laws. Such dedication, give the man his demands regarding pastry laws!!!

[galaxy_brain]

The way he enjoyed his croissant immediately, almost forgetting to offer Claudia any 😄👍

[stewieisfunnyful]

Yes, Claudia is a great host and interviewer but I think amazing how she's able to converse with everyone she speaks with. English, French, Italian and Spanish? That's pretty awesome

[mrminer]

Frederic is one serious bread-nerd; a true professional.

Claudia is a great interviewer! She’s kind, asks the right questions, and is very respectful. Frederic is a great artist! He is also very kind, patient, and a great teacher! I hope he succeeds in lobbying the French government for more laws regarding pastry making! If only we had laws like those in the US.

❤️

Croissants are absolutely one of my favorite pastries! The flakiness, the fluffiness, the softness...And who doesn't love butter???

[grungeman]

What an absolutely amazing baker. So confident, friendly, and willing to teach. This guy must be the pride of Nice. Hope to catch some of his baked goods someday.

"my eyes are the mold" that's a pro right there.

As an American who bakes and is trying to make croissants from scratch for the first time, I'd like to thank you for making this video. In my opinion, he's absolutely correct that pastry makers need protections for their work. The croissant especially is known worldwide as being an emblem and celebration of French food. I hope the government of France sees this message, because artisans like him absolutely deserve the highest recognition possible for their art and work.

I'm so glad that Frédéric is trying to protect what a real croissant is and I hope he succeeds because in my country (part of EU), most bakeries are making croissants with margarine and/or palm oil!!! If he succeeds, those blasphemies wont be able to be called croissants any more

"no, my eyes are the mold."

That skill in making croissant 🥐! Much respect!!! If I ever found my self in France, I'll buy a freshly baked croissant 🥐.

*Another excellent Claudia episode. Best host on this channel.* I’ve been to France and had many delicious croissants but not in Nice. These look fantastic indeed.

[tombirkland]

I love the baker's French. I am still trying to learn French, and this baker was so clear and so proud of his work. It was great to practice listening to French, *and* to learn more about croissants, which I love.

[rameessalim]

What an amazing art. Really he has put his heart and soul into it.

[edsanjenis]

I love it after he baked his beloved croissants, he immediately ate one; Frédéric must of made thousands of croissants and he still love them.

[kimfrankwatson]

I love how busy they are with the sound of the door being consistently opened.

[tessat]

This makes me so happy! I used to work at a bakery in the US when I was in high school and our bakers used to make croissants just the same way over a similar time frame. My store did freeze shaped croissants from time to time to make sure to always have a ready supply on hand. It was great to bring home the leftovers some nights! I still love the smell and taste of fresh French bread and pastries!

Claudia is multilingual. 😲 stan that queen
