French butter croissants

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Sift flour with salt. Grind 25 grams of butter with it. Mix sugar, beaten egg, milk and yeast in a bowl and leave for 10 minutes. Add the mixture to the flour and butter and knead the dough. Roll it out into a strip of 45x15 cm.

2. STEP 2

   

   Divide the butter into three parts. Lubricate 1/3 of the oil on 2/3 of the strip. Do not lubricate narrow sides. Fold the dough into thirds, folding the ungreased part first. Turn it half a turn to the right. Using the edge of a rolling pin, press the edges well. Repeat the procedure of rolling out the dough into strips and brushing with oil. Then wrap the dough in film and put it in the refrigerator for an hour.

3. STEP 3

   

   Roll it out again, grease it with the remaining oil and fold it in three. Place in the refrigerator for an hour.

4. STEP 4

   

   Roll out the rested dough very thinly into a rectangle.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut in half lengthwise.

6. STEP 6

   

   It turns out two stripes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut each half into equal triangles.

8. STEP 8

   

   We make cuts as shown in the photo.

9. STEP 9

   

   We stretch the blanks a little so that the base is significantly smaller than the sides.

10. STEP 10

    

    Roll the triangles into rolls.

11. STEP 11

    

    We bend the edges.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place on a baking sheet greased with butter and let rise for 30 minutes. Bake French croissants for 15 minutes in a preheated oven to 200 degrees.

13. STEP 13

    

    Our baked goods are ready. Now you know how to bake real French croissants with a creamy taste!

Ninaola! Laura! Thank you for such a trendy recipe, croissants are very popular now, everyone loves them, it’s convenient to take them to work, and just to eat with friends over tea, but I agree with you - this process is labor-intensive, puff pastry requires special attention - you need to play with it . So I rarely make it myself - more often I buy ready-made yeast puff pastry in the store, and before rolling the triangles into croissants, I sometimes put filling on the wide edge of the triangle - jam, toffee, jam with nuts, even sometimes minced meat. It's like a fantasy and a desire and a mood.
