croissant Gérard Dubois so good #17

Pumpkin butter bread by Gérard Dubois

Pumpkin butter bread by Gérard Dubois

In so good #17 we discovered the portentous book Le Pain Passion by the head of La Rose Noire, Gerard Dubois. It is a showcase of artistic photos, bound in great detail and that goes through some of this Hong Kong-based chef’s favorite doughs. With croissant dough and a product as autumnal as pumpkin (le courge), presented inside a cocotte, this product is a true ode to the great doughs of bakery and pastry. Not surprisingly, the book won the award for the world’s best book about bread last year.

Gérard Dubois’s declarations on good dough are unequivocal, and a perfect example of his position is this croissant and pumpkin cocotte.
