Hi everyone! I come to you today once again defeated by my vegan croissant proving.
I tried this recipe:
(I brushed the top with a little bit of vegan cream right before baking, but otherwise, followed the recipe exactly)
And things were generally going very well! Until the proving.
This is an issue I encounter every time I make croissants - they expand outward during proving, becoming flat and wide. When I bake them, they stay that way, and are generally a bit spongey rather than flakey (I've been thinking this is from the dough compacting as it widens, instead of rising up, but if it's something else, would love to know that too haha).
Any advice for a novice who can't quite get the hang of proving?

Vegan Croissants Recipe
Flaky, crispy, and buttery vegan croissants that are perfect for any savory and sweet pairings. They are also great plain.
