Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk until lukewarm, then stir in the sugar and yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes, 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. 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, resting the dough for 15 minutes in between each fold.
5
After the final rolling, cut the dough into triangles, then roll them up into croissant shapes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
6
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush the croissants with a little beaten egg, then bake them for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.
7
As soon as the croissants are baked, brush them with a thin layer of honey to make them shiny and more flavorful.
