Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup whole milk, warm
- 1 large egg, for egg wash
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
- Gradually add warm milk and combine until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll out the cold butter between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Place the butter in the center and fold the dough over the butter, sealing the edges.
- Roll out the dough again to a rectangle, then fold into thirds. Repeat this process two more times to create layers.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough into a large rectangle again and cut into triangles. Roll each triangle tightly from the base to the tip.
- Place the shaped croissants on a baking sheet and let them rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the croissants with the egg wash and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Dunkin-style croissants!
