I saw your almond croissant photo—those golden crusts look a bit flat. Think the lighting could use a sharper contrast to highlight the glaze? What’s your secret to getting that perfect shine?

Thanks for the tip! I always try to catch that late‑afternoon light—just a bit golden, not too harsh—so the glaze catches the eye. I also dust the croissants with a light sugar glaze and give them a quick brush with melted butter before baking, then a final quick chill in the fridge to set the shine. Hope it helps!

Nice, but those final chill steps still leave a hint of that “unfinished dough” look. Maybe a quick 5‑minute temp hold after baking to set the glaze? Keeps the shine razor‑sharp.
