Steps

3hrs 10min

1

In a bowl add milk, sugar and yeast, mix until it's creamy and frothy. Let it rest for 5min.
2

Add flour to yeast mixture, combine and knead for 5min until well incorporated, let the dough be soft then rub olive oil and cover for 1 1/2hrs - 2hrs.
3

Roll the dough and divide in pieces rolling them into a disk shape. Spread butter generously on top of each dough stacking them on top of each other. (For mine I roll a big circle then apply butter generously and fold)
4

Wrap them with cling film and put in the fridge for 30min.
5

Sprinkle some flour on rolling surface and roll the dough into a big circle/disk and cut into 12 triangles
6

Make slits at the circumference and roll to the centre. Repeat the same process on all, you can make some decorations of choice.
7

Line your baking tray then arrange them and let them rest for 30min or 1hr if you have time.
8

Egg wash (you can sprinkle sesame, black, flax or chia seeds) and bake in a preheated oven for 30min. Bake at 200 degrees for the first 10min then 190 degrees for 20min. The layers are magical.
9

Let them cool and enjoy with hot coffee
