Description
Delicious homemade croissants that are flaky and buttery.
Ingredients
Scale
- 400 g flour
- 7 g instant yeast
- 15 g granulated sugar
- 7 g salt
- 35 ml sunflower oil
- 225 ml warm water
- 40 g butter (for spreading)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, salt, sunflower oil, and warm water. Knead for 10-12 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each into a round sheet on a floured surface.
- Spread softened butter over one dough sheet and layer the second sheet on top. Cut into 12 equal triangles.
- Roll each triangle from the wide base towards the tip to shape the croissants.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking tray, brush with beaten egg, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast without killing it.
- For best results, let the croissants cool before serving.
