Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and let it foam before mixing into the dry ingredients.
  2. Incorporate melted butter into the dough until smooth. Let rest covered for one hour.
  3. Roll cold butter between parchment sheets into a rectangle while waiting for the dough to rise.
  4. Roll out dough into a larger rectangle and encase the cold butter layer within it. Seal edges well.
  5. Roll out and fold the dough into thirds multiple times to create flaky layers, allowing resting time between each turn.
  6. Cut rolled-out dough into triangles and shape them into croissants by rolling from base to tip.
  7. Allow shaped croissants to rise until doubled in size before brushing with egg wash and baking at 375°F (190°C) for 20-22 minutes until golden brown.
