Steps

1

Assemble and weigh all your ingredients and equipments.
2

In a bowl, sieve your flour and add 20 gms butter / margarine, add sugar, yeast and salt.
3

Rub in all the above ingredients till all incorporate.
4

Make a well in the centre and add some warm water milk mixture. Pour little by bittle as you mix gently.
5

Transfer the dough to a floured surface n continue kneading making a good soft fine dough.
6

Once done, cover your dough using a clean cloth for 20- 30mins.
7

From there, after 30 mins, get out your dough and make some opening.
8

In that opening, put inn your pastry margarine.
9

Then cover your pastry margarine with the dough completely.
10

Using your hands or rolling pin, press down your dough for margarine to bond with the dough.
11

Make your first single turn. Cover it with a cling foil and let it rest in the chiller for 30 mins.
12

Start rolling your dough in a rectangle shape.
13

After 30 mins, remove it and repeat the single turns twice, making it rest after each turn.
14

Lastly make a double turn and roll out your dough in readiness for the croissants. Note: I did 3 single turns and 1 double turn. If possible, you can more that that for more layers making sure you chill it for 30 mins after each turn for better results.
15

Roll out your dough and make a nice rectangle shape. If big, feel free to divide it by half as shown n make some almost small triangle shapes.
16

Cut out all of them.
17

Make some insertion / a small cut at the top.
18

Start hand rolling from the top where the cuts are making some nice croissants shapes as shown below in steps No 19.
19

Roll all of them as u set them aside.
20

Arrange them in a baking tray, Cover n let them rest for 30 mins for them to kinda double in size.
21

Egg wash them ready to be baked. Bake at 180 degrees for 20-30 mins.
