Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk slightly, then stir in the sugar and yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes, until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and the egg. Start kneading the dough.
3
Knead the dough until smooth, then cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
4
Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle and place thin slices of 200g of cold butter on top. Fold one half of the dough over the other, then roll it out again and fold it. Repeat this folding process three times, resting for 15 minutes in between each fold.
5
After the final rolling, cut the dough into triangles. Place a small spoonful of blueberry jam and a few fresh blueberries in the center of each triangle, then roll them up into croissant shapes.
6
Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
7
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush the croissants with a little beaten egg, then bake them for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
8
Once the croissants are baked, let them cool slightly, then sprinkle with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh blueberry pieces.
