Croissants

Bonjour! Join Sophie Dubois in her kitchen as she shares her recipe for classic Croissants. With their buttery layers and delicate flakiness, these pastries are a true labor of love. Get ready to roll up your sleeves and embark on a delicious baking adventure!

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 2.5 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until it is warm (about 110°F). Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Stir the mixture until a dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Place the butter in the center of the rectangle and fold the dough over it, sealing the edges. Roll out the dough again into a large rectangle.
  6. Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter. Roll out the dough again into a large rectangle and fold it into thirds again. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in

Voilà! Sophie Dubois's Croissants are ready to enjoy. We hope you enjoyed this journey through the art of French pastry-making. Whether served warm with a dollop of jam or enjoyed with a cup of coffee, these croissants are sure to impress. Bon appétit!
