Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold)
- 1/4 cup whole milk (warm)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Gradually add warm milk while stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth to develop gluten structure.
- Flatten cold butter between parchment sheets into a rectangle and chill.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle; place chilled butter on one half and fold over to encase it.
- Roll out again and fold into thirds; repeat twice to create layers.
- Cut triangles from the dough and roll from base to tip to form croissants.
- Place on lined trays to proof until doubled in size (about 1 hour). Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
