I just made croissants for the first time using a recipe that took 6 hours total, and they came out nearly perfect. What the hell is the point of all those recipes that have you folding it for literally 3 days?

they take 2 days to make well.
They are very hard to make well by hand
they require a steam oven to come out perfect.
you can make ok ones at home in your shitty oven

I mean I've eaten hundreds of them, I know what a good croissant entails.
I've never built a car, but I know your Lada sucks.
I wish we still lived in the days where you had a local baker who would have all kinds of fresh bread in the morning. My city in Oregon of about 50k people doesn't even have a local butcher.

>west coast
We still have that stuff on the east coast.
I've made croissants too anon.
It only took me 20 mins.
I opened the can, then ripped off some triangles, then rolled them up.
Throwem in the oven and wa LA!

My town has 2300 people and has 6 bakeries and 1 non supermarket butcher

america has shitty bakeries.
there are two types of them:
1. bakeries that use mixes and pre-made stuff
2. bakeries that are owned by hipster faggots and make dumb shit like cronuts, cupcakes, dick-shaped donuts, red velvet cake pops, etc.

LOL!
Presumably OP means pastry croissants, not the yeasted variety. The former do take a mere matter of hours to make from start to finish (and that time is mostly spent waiting for the dough to relax before you can fold it again).

Shit im glad i live in LA shit load of ethnic bakeries who make their specific cultures bread along with some European bread.
But the Thai's got croissants down they usually own donut shops and their croissants are always on point.

That really depends on your metric. A Lada might handle like crap but you can't kill them which is pretty remarkable.
See the point I'm making here?

Make dough, rise to double. Make a square with the butter. Punch down dough and put it in the fridge, put butter in fridge 1h.

Roll out and single fold 30m in fridge.
(roll out in the opposite side you rolled the last time)
Roll out to 20x60cm, cut out triangles with a 12cm base. Make small incision in the middle of the base. Pull them out a bit with your hands and roll em up.
Glaze with eggwash and let rise for ~2h. Glaze with eggwash again and bake ~15-20m at ~200C.
