Alright, I wanted to make some croissants after reading Ru's post. (Ru, I would have followed your recipe if I know how to measure pints and ounces.) I googled and found a simple recipe. It's really easy and I can cheat by letting my stand mixer do all the heavy job, although the taste will probably not be that good without the folding process. This is the first time, I thought I'll probably fail anyway, so I'd rather try out this simple way of making croissants before venturing to a more advanced level.
I was right. Somehow the dough was unkneadable. I couldn't turn it into a flat circle. The "thing" I made is SO elastic that it's like rubber. Frustrated, I resorted to rolling and twisting them piece by piece hoping to get that "croissants" look. But, instead.... they look like feces.
I call them Shitsants.
Hmm.... and there're 5 of them.
They didn't taste like shit though. They actually taste like normal bread.
Fortunately I only used 1/3 of the dough to make those shissants. The remaining ones were turned into shapes they should look like.
Harvey's buns!
They're edible and healthy, and my mom loves it when I put jam inside.
I failed in making croissants, but I succeeded in making buns.

You're right Harvey, that's disgusting. What the hell were you thinking? LOL! Stick to engineering kid. Hell, if you want croissant, you just buy the little Pillsbury dough at the market. It's what I do. LOL! sorry, but I'm still laughing. I like the buns, they're cute, they kind of look like boobs.

Yes, harvey, what were you thinking?? Gross!
Glad mum liked your buns...okay, that just sounds wrong.

Ewwwwwwww, those shitsants are soo 'eeeuuwwwwwwww', I even couldn't find the right words to describe it. Nonetheless, the buns are pretty good actually, hehehe.

MrBunnyBan: Okok, I know. But I didn't find the shitsants that disgusting... maybe it's like what you feel when you look at your own shit in the toilet... okay that sounds gross.
