No fresh croissant bakers in rural California........You will need a large mexican floortile from Home Depot, 16” x 12”, that one will fit in your oven and the freezer compartment of your fridge. About $3. And a rolling pin or an empty wine bottle with the cap, filled with cold water. A measuring cup, and a precision weight scale ( amazon, ten bucks). A little brush to rub eggwhites over the croissants, or use your fingers. A doughmaker helps, or use your hands.
