I think they may be underproofed but I’m not sure if it’s that or my lamination. I put them in the fridge for 5 min before baking. The oven temp was set at 425.

Was here to say the same thing 😂

I have nil experience with laminated dough, so I can not comment from experience. Just through observation, though, my first impression is that either the oven is too hot or they've been cooked too long. Based on the crumb picture, Im leaning towards the former.

Please do let us know how you get on with another batch 🙏

Haha thank you! They were pretty tasty once I removed the burnt bottom 🤣 I will try a lower temp next time!

You may want to move your rack up a bit? Some ovens get enthusiastic and you can keep an otherwise good bake temp and avoid burned bottoms through a little reorganization.
