Handmade Croissants
- 120 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 30 grams Cake flour
- 15 grams Sugar
- 3 grams Salt
- 2 1/2 grams Dry yeast
- 100 ml Water
- 10 grams Butter
- 50 grams Butter for folding
- 1 Flour for rolling
- 1 egg Egg for eggwash
- Take the butter used for folding, roll it out to a 15 x 15cm sheet and chill in the refrigerator.
- Set 10 g of butter to warm to room temperature.
- Put the ingredients into a bowl and mix together.
- Stir in the water.
- Add the bread flower and cake flour into the bowl.
- Stir well until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.
- Gather the dough and knead by hand for 10 minutes.
- Break up the room temperature butter into small pieces and knead it into the dough.
- Continue kneading until the butter is completely incorporated.
- Punch down the dough!
- Now bring the dough together into a round loaf and cover it with a damp tea towel.
- Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
- Dust your rolling pin with flour, and roll the dough out to a 20 x 40 cm rectangle.
- Place the butter sheet in the center and fold each wing of the dough over the sheet.
- The dough should now be folded into thirds.
- Turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat the rolling and folding process.
- Put the dough in the freezer for 15~20 minutes to chill and rest.
- Repeat this step 2 more times.
- Roll out the dough to 20 x 40 cm.
- Cut the dough into isosceles triangles.
- Cut a 1 cm slit into the short base of the triangles.
- Lightly flower and stretch out the triangles.
- Roll them into a croissant shape, spray them so they are damp, and let them rise for a second time.
- Preheat the oven to 190C
- Brush the risen croissants with the eggwash and bake for 15~20 minutes.
- Finished!
- These croissants are delicious just as they are, but I like to dust them with powdered sugar before eating.
