A quick test for any yeasted dough, bread, croiss, danish etc.
a knob of dough in very hot tap water. if it rises in 20 mins or less its good.
if it just flattens out and doesn't rise its no good.
This is a useful test if youre unsure about a croiss dough and don't want to waste the butter.
The fresh yeast in this dough is already a month old, I would normally assume this yeast to be expired but the test shows it still has life in it.
