So, you fold the dough like this and this.
We had to put the dough on multiple tables. I made an insane amount of it, and it simply didnt fit on one table. Thank God we had cleaned them before.
Ok, after folding the cooled butter sheets in the dough, we cut them into triangles.
They still have no idea whats happening.
After using a rolling pin to make the dough-cum-butter into a sheet of its own, we start cutting it into triangles.
Ok, look at , now you fold the triangle like this, and we put it on those trays. Once the yeast has done its job, we move them onto a preservation Rune. Thats peachy. Usually, you have to coordinate the ti for proofing with the ti you want to bake them. If you dont and they rise too much, they beco gummy and thats bad. They are supposed to be flaky and buttery.
Can you tell us the na, now? Camilla whines.
Oh, yeah. These are croissants.
What? How do you spell that? Flaminia is tired from folding all those croissants. Honestly, I might have overdone it.
While they folded, cut corners, flattened and whatnot, I made a quick jam and so cr patissire. They are now stored in a cupboard with so preservation runes. I need those for the filling.
Because yes, we are making croissants.
They are the most famous pieces of baking in the world. Id argue theyre even more popular than bread, in a way. Bread, you need to live. Croissants, you need them to enjoy living.
And its unfortunate I still dont have a lead on chocolate. Yet. Im going to make so goddamn chocolate and hazelnut cr sort of like Nutella, pal.
Croissants filled with Nutella? Thats my jam.
Was that a la joke?
I dont know.
So, this is how you roll the triangle, I show to the hesitant Camilla and Flaminia. Being two professional [Bakers], they learn pretty quickly.
Wow, Joey, you look like a different person when you work, Camilla says while wiping so sweat off with her forearm. I did not expect this. And that yeast. Thats insane.
Flaminia looks around, worried.
Do you have much other secret stuff like this? she raises a non-proofed croissant.
Oh, so many, I smile.
Well shes looking a bit pale.
We should marry, Joey, you know. We would work much better like that together, Camilla winks at and gives a bright smile.
Flaminia throws so flour in the shorter Elfs face, making a ss of her face.
You, flat-eared piece of
Flaminia throws more flour, this ti in her mouth.
Camilla starts coughing and making very unkind gestures toward Flaminia.
Ladies, no need to fight. This bad boy here, I slap my ass, is taken.
Joey, why would you show us this recipe if its not in the contract? Flaminia asks seriously.
You, Flam, its fine. I trust you. Im not interested in competing with you two. Really, I want to have my little operation running. Make so money to buy a cozy place, and thats it.
Hes really confident in his baking skills, isnt he? Camilla says after jugging so water.
He seems able to back up his wild claims, Flaminia nods. But I still dont understand why you would give away sothing so valuable. It makes no sense.
Your awe is worth it. By the way, any updates on Clodia and Alia? I enter my gossiping mode.
They went to Clodias place, I think. To talk.
Hehe.
To talk.
Hehe.
This is my favorite part of being a bakerthe gossip.
Camilla, I need the details of what happens. You too, Flaminia. We have an operation going here. I need help.
I cant just go around telling people stuff about my own employer, Joey, Flaminia says. She hesitates a second, though.
You keep showing stuff, Human-boy, and Ill tell you whatever you want, Camilla doesnt even flinch.
Great. Well, now we have to wait until tonight, and then we open up a little stall in front of the building to sell the croissants to people. Lucillus, did you fetch the piping bags?
My bodyguard just ca back from his trip.
Yes, I also told the [Woodworkers] to build the stand in front of the building. You will need a permit for that, though. I also submitted that and expedited it. It will be valid in a couple of hours.
Man, look, I should marry you, Lucillus.
The man gives a terrified expression in response.
Well, thats rude. Im an excellent prospect; Ill have you know. If I wasnt taken, you should be bringing flowers at every ti of the day and night to woo .
Lucillus goes a bit pale just at the thought of that.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, we are pretty much done for now.
Im going to take a nap upstairs. Weve got so rooms with this place. Its like an inn. Lucillus, you can rest too. Wake up in two hours if you dont see coming down.
The man nods and goes for a rest himself.
It has been a long day.
Ill co back. I need to check on Clodia and fix a few orders at Happys.
Sa, but I need to check on my witch of a sister, Camilla says with a frown.
