Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Create a well in the center and add warm milk. Stir until combined and knead until smooth.
  2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  3. Pound cold unsalted butter between parchment paper until it's about ½ inch thick. Chill if needed.
  4. Roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle, place the butter layer on half of it, fold over the other half to encase the butter, and roll out gently.
  5. Fold into thirds like a letter; repeat this process two more times.
  6. Cut triangles from the rolled-out dough and roll each triangle from base to tip to shape croissants.
  7. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, proof until doubled in size (about 1 hour), brush with beaten egg, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 22 minutes or until golden.
