Check Out These Enormous Creme-Filled CroissantsIdeally, a croissant should be approximately the size of your head. The larger your head is, the bigger the croissant should be. That’s my dietary guidance.

Fanciful Winnie the Pooh Focaccia LoafInstagram user ent.co_mamis an extraordinary food artist. She makes amazing meals for her family that are not only delicious, but also pretty. Her works tell stories, most often from the Disney universe, that kids in age and kids at heart can enjoy.Here, if Google Translate is cooperating correctly, is a loaf of focaccia bread decorated with Winnie the Pooh carried aloft by a bunch of balloons. Perhaps it is inspired by a famous scene from a Pooh story in which our hero attempts to balloon up to a beehive to retrieve some honey.

Sourdough Bread Loaf That Looks Like a TurkeyRedditor mazekeen has a great idea for Thanksgiving, but I’m not sure if it increases or decreases the actual workload of preparing a turkey. Their sourdough bread recipe uses a combination of bread, wheat, and rye four. The dough rises for four hours, then one hour, then an hour and a half, and then a final hour. That’s probably necessary due to the complex shaping necessary to get the turkey look perfectly, even after baking. That baking requires a three-stage process at two different temperatures.Perhaps, due to the complexity of the task, it’s as difficult to prepare as the traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner.#sourdough #baking #bread #turkeyImage: u/mazekeen19

An Eerie Croissant Appropriate for HalloweenHow did redditor /u/input36 achieve this amazing coloration?Bakers, both professional and amateur, offer their guesses. The green is obvious food dye in the dough. But how did s/he achieve the black color? Perhaps by using butter dyed black or a blackened egg wash. Alternatively, it could be powdered activated charcoal or painted chocolate./u/input36 eventually answers: laminating the dough. Laminating, in this sense, means carefully folding butter into dough so that the dough has alternating layers of butter and flour. /u/input36 then made sure that the final layer was butter, which s/he then colored black.Be sure to check out /u/input36’s profile for images of similarly amazing croissants.#croissant #baking
