I know how croissants and pain au chocolat are made, but I had no idea that making them on a large scale would still be so labour intensive.

Beautiful work though.

As much as I love consuming and admiring the end result, this video has disabused me of any notion I ever had of being a pastry chef.

Brought back memories. I was a baker from age 19 to 24. That handle on the rolling machine could crush your finger when you moved the handle from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock. There is no clearance if your finger is wrapped around the handle.

We made about 3 or 4 thousand croissants a day. Plain, Almond, Chocolate and Ham and Cheese.

I sometimes miss working in a bakery, but I developed an allergy to airborne flour.

My first job was working the counter at my hometown bakery. My family was flush with baked goods...day old breads, danish and donuts.

I miss old fashioned bakeries...there are none around here.
