NOTES:  1.   Place pieces on paper-lined or greased baking pan.

2.      To avoid freezer burn, tightly seal unused product in the enclosed plastic bag and return the box immediately to the freezer.

3.      Egg washing croissants and Danishes is optional

4.      For best results in volume or flakiness, baking with steam is required.

 

Baking time will vary depending on oven type and atmospheric environment.

 

Bake all products to a medium gold color in order for product to be flaky and retain flakiness longer.  When processing croissant and Danish slabs, thaw in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours to retain the dough firmness needed to laminate.  Thawing slabs at room temperature will make the dough too soft and uneven in texture to laminate correctly.

It is necessary to bake all puff pastry to a medium gold color in order to be flaky and retain its flakiness.  When baking 1.75lb / 784g strudels, do not let the filling reach boiling point as it will open up the braids.  When processing slabs, thaw in the refrigerator for 4 – 8 hours to retain the dough firmness needed to laminate.  Thawing slabs at room temperature will make the dough too soft and uneven in texture to laminate correctly.
