How to make croissants
Today I am conquering my fears and making homemade croissants 🥐! If you’re about to run away screaming, I understand. I’m not sugarcoating it: croissants aren’t easy. Croissants require time, patience, and a lot of rolling. However, just because this recipe is advanced doesn’t mean that YOU have to be an advanced baker to try it. You can absolutely handle this recipe. ♥

Day 1
Place all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix together. Make a well and add the butter and liquid. Bring together then place onto a floured surface. Work the dough lightly for about 3 minutes. You don't want to over work the dough as it will be harder to incorporate the butter on the next day. Push the dough down to form a flat disk place onto a lightly floured tray, cover and place into the fridge for at least 8 hours and up to 12. - 2
Day 2
1 hour before you take the dough from fridge. Get your butter and pound it with a rolling pin to make it nice and flat. For the easiest method, place the butter between two pieces of parchment paper and gently pound until square and flat about 1/4". Place back into the fridge. Take your dough out of the fridge and place onto a lightly floured surface. Pin out to form a square. Then pin each side out so you have an envelope, 4 thin corners and a slightly raised centre piece. - 3

Crispy Croissants Crispy Croissants
After I tried many recipes, I finally arrived at a recipe that I'm satisfied with!When you are sealing the edges of the dough together during Step 5, try not to let any air in. If a large amount of air gets in, then poke with a toothpick to let it out. If it's a small amount, don't worry about it! The dough will stick to the board and rolling pin as you repeatedly fold the dough, so dust with a small amount of flour. For 10 croissants. Recipe by Chikayan

Crispy Croissants Crispy Croissants
I wanted to make my mom's favorite croissants at home.It is important to continuously chill the dough to keep it from becoming too soft and difficult to work with. It is even better if you also chill your hands before handling the dough.You may also want to turn down the heat in the kitchen.If you should find air bubbles while rolling, try to gently move it toward the edge with the rolling pin to remove it.

Foolproof Croissants Foolproof Croissants
These are the croissants that I finally succeeded in making on my 6th attempt. I have failed many times with all the recipes that I read. I even thought that this was not my thing. In this recipe, I note what I have learned from my mistakes, and hopefully these will be helpful hints for others like me who have been failing at their attempts. If you follow this recipe and the croissants still don't come out right, let me know, so I can give you advice! Good luck and enjoy making delicious croissants.I updated the recipe to make it very easy to follow.1. Do not knead the dough! 2. Keep the dough chilled at all times! Chill it! 3. Keep your working surface dusted lightly with flour, and dust the dough with a lot of flour until it has a grainy texture. Keep the dough moving while rolling it out. 4. If the butter comes out, cover it lightly with the flour! 5. Roll up the dough loosely so it has space to rise. 6. Make sure to rise the dough until it doubles its original size. 7. Coat the butter with cake flour! Recipe by asaco* -

The key to making beautiful layers is to not let the butter melt until you bake. Recipe by Nagiry -
