Ingredients: medium, total time: 105 min. 6 servings

Dough:

  • 45 g of fresh yeast

  • 300 ml warm milk

  • 150 ml warm water

  • 45 ml of oil

  • 910 g flour type 400

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of salt

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar

  • 300 g of butter

Coating:

  • 50 ml of milk + 1 egg

  • oil for coating croissants

Preparation:
  1. Put the yeast, warm milk, warm water, oil, and sugar in a deep bowl, stir to dissolve the yeast. Wait about 10 minutes.

  2. When the yeast has melted, slowly add flour and salt. Knead the dough well, cover it with a cloth, or put it in a bag.

  3. Let the dough rise for 30–40 minutes.

  4. Knead the dough and divide it into 11 balls.

  5. Roll the ball into a circle with a rolling pin and grate the butter (let it be cold, it is easier to grate).

  6. Grate butter on each stretched ball, except for the last one.

  7. Place the dough in the middle of the already floured work surface and roll it into a large circle with a rolling pin.

  8. Cut the circle of dough into 4 parts. Cut the quarters into the size of how many croissants you want.

  9. Make a small cut in the middle and roll to make a croissant.

  10. Repeat the process until you have finished all the dough.

  11. Leave the prepared croissants to rest for 15 minutes.

  12. Turn on the oven at 220 °C fan and wait for it to heat up.

  13. While waiting, brush the croissants first with oil and then with the milk and egg mixture. Bake them for about 20–25 minutes, depending on the oven.

  14. Croissants prepared in this way can be filled with jam or vanilla cream if you have some in reserve, or you can eat them as they are.

  15. If you want to make savory and stuffed ones, get Prague ham and some melted Trappist, Edam or Emmanteler cheese, you can also sprinkle with a little sesame seeds. Buon appetito!
