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 on a floured surface until smooth.
- Flatten cold butter between parchment sheets into a rectangle; chill until firm.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle twice as long as wide. Place chilled butter on one half and fold over to encase it. Roll out again and fold into thirds three times to laminate.
- Cut triangles from the dough and roll each triangle from base to tip to shape croissants.
- Place shaped croissants 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.
