Preparation Steps
1
In the lukewarm milk, stir in the sugar, then crumble in the yeast and let it stand for 10 minutes, or until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, sift the flour, add the salt, then pour in the yeast mixture. Start kneading the dough.
3
Once the dough comes together, place it on a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4
Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle, then place the cold butter in the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the butter to encase it.
6
Gently roll out the dough, then fold it into thirds. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
7
Repeat the folding and rolling process twice more, always resting the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes in between.
8
Roll out the finished puff pastry to a thickness of 5 mm. Cut into triangles. Place a teaspoon of blueberry jam and a few fresh blueberries on the wide end of each triangle.
9
Roll up the triangles from the wide end towards the point to form croissant shapes.
10
Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
11
Whisk the egg and brush it over the top of the croissants to give them a beautiful shine.
12
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
13
Let the croissants cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
