Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk slightly, then dissolve the sugar and yeast in it. Let it stand for 10 minutes, or until foamy.
2
Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the salt, then pour in the yeast mixture and the egg. Start kneading the dough.
3
Knead the dough until smooth, then cover it 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 200 g 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, allowing 15-minute rests in between.
5
After the final rolling, cut the dough into triangles. Place a small dollop of fig jam 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
When the croissants are baked, let them cool slightly, then sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar.
