Homemade Croissants. Pain au chocolat. Things that terrify, mystify, impress. Things that intrigue me, beg me to bake them, taunt me from the recesses of cookbooks and foodie blogs, “Try me, I dare you!” So I did. Homemade croissants have long been on my list of culinary “musts” and have remained there on that list…
