Butter Croissants

The story behind

Few things beat the aroma of freshly baked croissants filling the house. I love watching how those delicate golden layers form, promising a perfect crunch in every bite, just as seen in this abundant tray ready for breakfast. It is a process that requires patience, but the professional and homemade result is totally worth it.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Mix the flour, sugar, salt, yeast, milk, and water until a homogeneous dough forms. Knead lightly and let it rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  2. 2
    Prepare a flat block with the cold butter.
  3. 3
    Roll out the dough into a rectangle and place the butter block in the center. Fold the dough to cover the block.
  4. 4
    Perform the laminating process by giving three simple folds, letting the dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes between each fold to keep it cold.
  5. 5
    Roll out the final dough to about 4mm thick and cut long triangles.
  6. 6
    Roll the triangles from the base to the tip to give them the characteristic croissant shape.
  7. 7
    Let them rise in a cool place until they double in size.
  8. 8
    Brush with egg wash to achieve that intense golden shine.
  9. 9
    Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 15 to 20 minutes until they are well browned and crispy as seen in the image.
