Steps

1

Take 2 tablespoons of warm milk and add 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir it nicely and add in the yeast. Leave it aside in a warm place for 1/2 an hour.
2

In a bowl take the flour and add salt. Mix and then add the yeast mixture. Use the leftover warm milk to knead a soft dough out of it. Cling wrap the bowl and leave it in a warm place for 45 mins.
3

Take out the dough to a floured surface and knock out the air out of it. Knead it for a while and then roll it using a rolling pin. Spread the butter (30- 35 gms each time). Fold the rolled dough in half and apply butter again.
4

Repeat step 2 until all the butter is used, by rolling and folding the dough again and again
5

Now place the dough inside the bowl and cling wrap it. Put it in the fridge for atleast 24 hours.
6

Take out the dough and roll out a big circle out of it. Cut it into slices just like how we cut a pizza.
7

The triangular slice is then wrapped starting from the edge towards the centre. Place it in a baking tray. And again left to proof for half an hour.
8

Pre heat the oven (200 degrees celsius). Bake the croissant at 200 degrees for 10 mins. Lower the temperature to 140 degrees and bake it for 10 more minutes.
9

Take out the croissant out of the oven and brush it with butter and dust it with powdered sugar.
