Ingredients 

Dough

  • 4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Milk warm
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon Active dry yeast
  • 1 cup Butter cold, unsalted

Instructions 

  1. 1. In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. 2. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and knead until smooth. Let it rest for 1 hour.
  3. 3. Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Place cold butter in the center and fold the dough over it. Roll it out again and fold it into thirds. Repeat this process 3 times, chilling the dough for 30 minutes between each fold.
  4. 4. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle and cut it into triangles. Roll each triangle from the base to the tip to form croissants. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. 5. Let the croissants rise for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  6. 6. Bake the croissants for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
