# Paris Croissant Small-Group Baking Class with a Chef

**Guidekin's take:** Croissants, pain au chocolat and pain aux raisins made from scratch in a group of eight, rolling pin in hand. The chef walks you through the dough theory first, so the lamination actually makes sense.

In our comparison: #56 of 87 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

It all starts with a warm cup of tea or coffee before jumping right into the crafting of your own Buttery Croissant, Pain au Chocolat (or chocolate croissant) and the Pain au Raisin ! Small groups of 8 allow the chef to follow closely how you learn new skills and knowledge.

First, discover the equipment, the ingredients, and the theory behind the making of the croissant. You will be making it from scratch with quality ingredients we selected from our local producers.

Then kneading the predough is where it all begins. You will provide the last ingredient with the rolling pin as you roll out the finished dough from which you will shape your own pastries! Time will do the rest while they rest and bake.

It all ends well with the tasting of what you have baked and the always instructive chat about your trip to Paris. We, as chefs, are very happy to give you our culinary advice, recommendations, and opinions and also learn from you. Don’t forget to take away the leftovers!
