Sweet soft fluffy croissant recipe! 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water 1/2 cup warm milk 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup unsalted butter, cold 1 egg (for egg wash) Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional) Instructions: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it's frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, warm milk, sugar, and salt. Stir until well mixed. Gradually add the flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until it becomes smooth. Shape it into a ball. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size. While the dough is rising, take the cold butter and place it between two sheets of plastic wrap. Flatten it into a rectangle and refrigerate. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Place the cold butter in the center and fold the sides of the dough over the butter, sealing it. Roll out the dough-butter combination into a rectangle again and fold it into thirds like a letter. Repeat this process two more times, chilling the dough if it becomes too soft. After the final fold, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough into a large rectangle and cut it into triangles. Roll each triangle from the base to the tip to form a croissant shape. Place the croissants on a baking sheet, brush with the beaten egg for a shiny finish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your homemade sweet, soft, buttery croissants! 🥐✨
