{"product_id":"pain-aux-raisins","title":"Pain aux Raisin Croissant","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Spiral of Pure Comfort\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoulangerie Christophe's \u003cstrong\u003ePain aux Raisins\u003c\/strong\u003e is the kind of pastry that makes you slow down and savor the moment. Plump, juicy raisins and a silky vanilla pastry cream are rolled into buttery, hand-laminated dough, then coiled into a perfect spiral and baked until deeply golden, caramelized, and glazed to a beautiful shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm from the oven, the layers peel apart in ribbons of buttery dough, sweet cream, and fruit — rich, fragrant, and impossibly satisfying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Art of Laminated Dough\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foundation of every pain aux raisins is Boulangerie Christophe's signature \u003cstrong\u003ehand-laminated dough\u003c\/strong\u003e. Premium European-style butter is folded into the dough through a precise series of turns over two days, creating hundreds of alternating paper-thin layers of dough and butter. When baked, those layers puff and separate into the flaky, tender interior that defines a truly great viennoiserie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSlow-Proofed for Depth of Flavor\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter shaping, each spiral undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003eslow, cold overnight proof\u003c\/strong\u003e. This extended rest allows the dough to develop a subtle complexity of flavor — buttery and rich, with a faint pleasant tang — that fast-proofed pastries simply cannot replicate. The result is a pain aux raisins with genuine depth that goes far beyond sweetness alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFresh Pastry Cream \u0026amp; Plump Raisins\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristophe's \u003cstrong\u003evanilla pastry cream (crème pâtissière)\u003c\/strong\u003e is made fresh daily from whole milk, free-range egg yolks, cane sugar, and real vanilla bean. It's spread generously over the laminated dough before the raisins are scattered and the whole sheet is rolled and sliced into spirals. The raisins are plumped overnight in warm water to ensure they stay juicy and tender through the bake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePure Ingredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganic stone-milled flour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium European-style butter (84% fat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhole milk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree-range eggs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSea salt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCane sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFresh yeast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal vanilla bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlump sun-dried raisins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo artificial flavors.
