Pastry Temple: One Fold, One Rest – Dough to Golden Layers

This book is for the home baker who has always wanted to make croissants, brioche, and puff pastry from scratch—but has been intimidated by the words "lamination" and "butter block." You've watched the videos and thought, "I could never do that." You can. You don't need prior lamination experience. You need a patient, inspired guide that starts with one fold, one rest, and the simple truth that great pastry is mostly technique and a little patience.

This book gives you that truth. One fold, one rest, one page at a time—from dough to golden layers. No prior lamination experience needed. You'll learn the fundamentals of working with butter and dough, creating those beautiful, flaky layers that make croissants and puff pastry legendary. Then you'll bake inspired creations: classic croissants, brioche buns, savory puff pastries, sweet danishes, and more.
