Dough

Butter Layer

Filling (Optional)

Egg Wash

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, instant yeast, and sugar. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the warm water, softened butter, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Butter Layer Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Butter Block

    While the dough is rising, take the cold unsalted butter and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Croissant Assembly

  1. 6

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 7

    Incorporate Butter

    Place the cold butter block in the center of the rolled-out dough. Fold the dough over the butter, sealing the edges.

  3. 8

    Laminate Dough

    Roll the dough out again into a large rectangle, then fold it into thirds like a letter. Repeat this process two more times, chilling the dough for 30 minutes between each roll.

  4. 9

    Cut and Shape Croissants

    After the final roll, cut the dough into triangles. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle tightly to form a croissant shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Filling (Optional)

  1. 10

    Add Fillings

    If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips or spread almond paste on the dough before rolling it into croissants for added flavor.

Final Rise and Baking

  1. 11

    Prepare Egg Wash

    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until combined.

  2. 12

    Egg Wash Croissants

    Brush the egg wash over the tops of the croissants. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  3. 13

    Bake

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the croissants for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
