September bomb shot

Helped build the road to Paris 🇺🇸🥖 Helping organizing the Team USA selection for the Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie: long days, big talent, zero regrets.

Chocolate Academy masterclass ✔️ Butter, cocoa, and a room full of curious minds.

But the real headline? My daughter started pre-K and walked in like she owned the place. Best thing I made all year. ❤️

Merci septembre, you were a good one. taken in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by @romaindufour

THIS is what happens when a room full of bakers, kilos of butter, and laminated dough come together.

The final viennoiserie buffet from my masterclass last week at @callebautchocolateacademyus .

Croissants. Pain au chocolat. Brioche blé au lait. Pomme d’Apple . Layer after layer of butter, precision, and technique.

From the first fold to the final bake — this was the result.

What a Masterclass! 🥖
Two days, countless conversations, hands-on baking, and plenty of inspiration ✨

It was a pleasure welcoming so many bakery professionals to @bernal_bakery for our Masterclass! Participants got to explore the performance of our flours through live demonstrations and interactive workshops.

A huge thank you to our Bakery Chefs @baker_brose and @romaindufour for sharing their expertise during the Bread Making and Viennoiserie workshops, and to our partner @prova_gourmet for helping make this event a success 👏

Most of all, thank you to everyone who joined us! Meeting passionate bakers, exchanging ideas, and sharing French bakery expertise is what these events are all about. 🤝

See you at the next Masterclass! by @romaindufour

Two days at @isignystemere last July — behind the scenes with the people who actually make the butter and cheese we all use.

Thank you @tomrougereau and the whole team.

Croissant

Always the same love, same expectations and working hard for the consistency.
Last masterclass at @cremecaramelcr we made croissant with an Italian flour and a danish butter. Discovering the ingredients on the spot is always the challenge, you have one shot, one opportunity to make the best you and to share that love.

Kouign Amann isn’t a pastry with sugar on it — the sugar is laminated in, folded through the dough like butter. That’s what caramelizes at every layer edge and gives you the shatter.

Most people find that out the hard way (burnt trays, or dough that never caramelizes at all). taken in Miami, Florida by @romaindufour
