Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g strong white bread flour
  • 10g salt
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 10g instant yeast
  • 250ml cool water
  • 250g chilled unsalted butter (at least 82% fat)
  • 1 medium egg (beaten for glazing)

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer, mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast until combined. Add cool water and knead on low speed for 2 minutes, then increase to medium speed for about 6 minutes until elastic.
  2. Shape dough into a ball, dust lightly with flour, place in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. Roll out dough into a rectangle; flatten butter between parchment paper into a rectangle. Place butter on dough's bottom two-thirds and fold to seal.
  4. Refrigerate again for another hour; roll out and fold like a letter three times with chilling in between.
  5. Roll dough into a larger rectangle, cut triangles, and roll tightly from the base to tip.
  6. Proof at room temperature for about 2 hours until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F), brush croissants with egg wash and bake for approximately 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
