Lune: Croissants All Day, All Night
A giveaway
Lune’s publisher, Hardie Grant, sent me two copies of Lune: Croissants All Day, All Night to share with a few lucky Wordloaf subscribers. If you’d like in on one, please leave a comment below about your experience with making croissants or other laminated pastries. I’ll pick the winners at random a week from today (3/8) at 9AM.
If you are not yet a subscriber but want in on the giveaway, you know the drill:
Additionally, let me know if you’d be interested in attending a virtual workshop with me soon walking you through the process that Kate created for the book. It’s so unusual and effective that I thought it might be helpful to work through it as a group.

I have made croissant dough three times--once for traditional croissants and twice for pain au chocolat--but all three times were in winter 2020-2021, pre-vaccination, in the Upper Midwest. Which is to say: I had a ton of time on my hands and nowhere to go, ha. I used Melissa Funkweller's incredible book/recipes each time. I definitely had some trouble with the final rise (perhaps it was the aforementioned winter...), and I would love to learn more about the process.
I've reached the point in my baking life where I bake all of my own bread, but I've always been afraid to try croissants. This book looks like something that could get me past my fear, so I'd love to win a copy!
