Croissant Class in Paris
Join our Croissant Class in Paris, and let one of our Pastry Chefs, using some of the finest ingredients, show you how to bake the quintessential Parisian buttery (and some will say decadent) Viennoiserie: le croissant. The complexity resided in making this leavened pastry dough with a perfect lamination. A technique a classically trained French pastry chef – and you after this baking course – would reapply to make Chocolate Croissants, Kouign Aman or even Mille Feuille (aka Napoleon).
STEP 1: All our croissant classes in Paris are hands-on and we cook from scratch. First things first: let’s weigh the ingredients.
STEP 2: Once the ingredients are ready, it is time to start mixing it all together, lay it flat, and incorporate the magic French ingredient:butter!
STEP 3: And then it is time to fold – the right temperature, pressure and motion will all be critical to your success in the first of three foldings.
STEP 4: After multiple folds, the magic of the laminated dough is starting to reveal itself. It is those multiple layers of doug and butter which make the French croissants so special.
STEP 5: The layers are ready to be rolled into the famous croissant – probably a good time to ask your Chef why it has that … croissant shape.
STEP 6: Now of course you can use that dough to make different types of “croissants” like the famous Chocolate Croissants – which we call Pain au Chocolat.
STEP 7: The croissants now just need to prove a little, and with a little dorure to give it that golden shine, it will time to bake them – the last step before the most important one.
STEP 8: It is time to eat! At long last you are rewarded with warm croissants that you have made yourself – and will now know how to make for all your friends and family!

We had the best experience learning to make croissants with Stephane. It was our first time in France for my teen daughter and I and this was one of the activities we looked forward to most. It did not disappoint! The space was cute, quaint, and very clean. Stephane was engaging and made sure everyone in our small group of 6 had the full hands on experience. While the croissants were baking we sat upstairs and had tea/coffee as a group and got to know each other. The croissants turned out amazing. We had plenty to enjoy as a group and enough to take some with us. Not only did we get beautiful photos, but are confident we could make croissants at home. Thank you Stephane, we hope to be back one day to try another class.
The 3 hour croissant making class was fun. Fanny, the instructor, has a fantastic personality and is an expert pastry maker. I love baking cookies and cakes and wanted to see how this was done by an expert. I can’t wait to practice at home. The croissants and pan au chocolates we made in class were delicious.
I took two classes here: croissant and baguette (which also included brioche and cibatta). There were all amazing! Florence was my teacher for both and she was great at teaching us the skills and techniques in the art of bread baking. She was knowledgeable, passionate about baking, and I learned so much about bread from her! I just gotten into sourdough bread making and wanted to deepen my knowledge on yeast breads; her course helped me in my journey of artisan breads. The kitchen is professional and very clean. Being a traveler in Paris, this class made my trip more fun and memorable!
