My daughter dropped a big hint by sending me a picture of a blueberry and lemon babka so I had a go at it today.
I followed the temperature instructions but didn't adjust for a fan oven so the crust got quite dark very quickly. For the remainder of the time I put some foil over it and dropped the temperature.
Tastes great but no noticeable lemon flavour.

Croissants are one of those things that you make once to see if you can, then buy them. Same with puff pastry.

Thanks, I thought I’d post a photo while they still looked decent and before I wreck them!

They were my wife’s idea. Having got to this stage, I told her, “I don’t care how good they taste, I’m not going through that faff again.”

Well, they look more like Michelin men than elegant croissants but I'm happy with these.
The point being that they look and probably taste a lot better than the clones you see in most shops & bakeries.

Well done. It's half a day of your life you won't get back. But it is a great achievement.

Have Lidl and Aldi given up doing bread flour? Has not been in either for some time.
Was very well priced, unlike the others.
Always seems odd to me how they mysteriously seem to have similar offers.

Aldi haven't had bread flour for about five months now, which is a pain. OTOH Tesco had Allinson's strong for £1.50 for a 1.5kg bag, so I bought two .
