In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, instant yeast, and sugar. Mix well. Gradually add lukewarm milk and melted butter, mixing until a rough dough forms.

Prepare the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Knead the Dough

While the dough is rising, prepare the butter layer. Place the 1 cup of unsalted butter between two sheets of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Chill in the refrigerator until firm.

Prepare the Butter Layer

Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle about twice the size of the butter layer. Place the chilled butter in the center and fold the dough over the butter to encase it completely.

Laminate the Dough

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

Roll and Fold

After the final fold, roll the dough into a large rectangle and cut it into triangles. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip to shape the croissants.

Shape the Croissants

Place the shaped croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover, and let them rise for another hour.

Final Rise

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the croissants for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.

Bake the Croissants

Allow the croissants to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
