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. ♥

Cooking Instructions

3 d 15 mins
  1. 1

    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. 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. 3

    Roll out dough into a large rectangle
    * make the butter layer (I have an easy trick for this!!!)
    * enclose the butter layer inside the dough Place back into the fridge and rest for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Day 3

    * roll out the dough into another large rectangle, then fold it back together
    * roll out the dough again, fold it back together again
    * roll out the dough one more time, fold it back together
    * shape the croissants
    * bake😋😉
