Flaky, buttery, and deliciously authentic, yet so easy to make! Today I am sharing a recipe that has been on my bucket list for years: homemade croissants! I've wanted to try making them forever, and there are TONS of croissant recipes out there to choose from. Once the oven is heated, put one tray of croissants on the top rack of the oven and the other on the bottom rack vertically.

Instructions to make Homemade Croissants:
  1. Use the dough hook on your mixer. Put the flour into the mixer bowl and add the salt, sugar, yeast and water. Mix on a slow speed for 2 minutes then on a medium speed to 6 minutes.
  2. Take the dough out of the mixer and put onto a lightly floured surface shape it into a ball dust with flour put into a plastic bag and chill in the fridge for an hour.
  3. After an hour on a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to a rectangle roughly about 60 x 20 cm.
  4. Take your butter and flatten it into a rectangle by bashing it with a rolling pin. Make the rectangle about 40 x 19 cm.
  5. Put the butter on the dough so that it covers 2/3 of the dough. The shape of my worktop means i have the long side on top. Width-way it should come almost to the edges.
  6. Fold the dough by folding one third of the dough to the centre and then for the other third over the top. Pinch the edges slightly to seal in the butter. Put it back in the plastic bag or cover in some way and chill in the fridge for an hour.
  7. Take the dough out of the bag and put it on a lightly floured surface. Roll into a rectangle again about 60 x 20 cm and do the fold again. Cover it again and back in the fridge for an hour. Do that step two more times.
  8. After the final fold put the dough back in the fridge overnight or at least 8 hours.
  9. Line 2 or 3 baking trays with baking paper.
  10. Take the dough out of the fridge. Put it on a lightly floured surface and roll another rectangle. This time make it about 40 x 30 cm. Trim the edges with a really sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
  11. Then cut the rectangle lengthways into two strips. I then cut each strip into three squares. Then cut each square into two triangles. You can use your hands to shape the triangles.
  12. At the wide base of the triangle make a tiny cut and then, starting at the wide end, roll up into a croissant. If you want the crescent shape, curl the ends in.
  13. Put the croissants on the trays. They need some space so 4-6 per tray. Then the final proove - cover and leave in a cool room for a couple of hours. I skipped this today so today’s croissants are mini 😁
  14. Preheat your oven to 200°C. Lightly whisk the egg with a pinch of salt to make an egg wash.
  15. Use this to brush the tops and sides of the croissants. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly but be sure to enjoy warm 😋

I've wanted to try making them forever, and there are TONS of croissant recipes out there to choose from. Once the oven is heated, put one tray of croissants on the top rack of the oven and the other on the bottom rack vertically. Wait until they are cool and serve.
