Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy. Add flour and salt, then mix to form a dough. Knead gently until smooth.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle. Place cold butter pieces over two-thirds of the dough. Fold like a letter, wrap in cling film, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough again, fold in thirds, and chill again. Repeat this rolling and chilling process 2 more times. Then roll out into a final rectangle and cut into triangles.
- Roll each triangle from the base to the tip to form a crescent shape. Place on the baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush with beaten egg.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes until puffed and golden. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Chill the dough between folds to ensure flaky layers.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean cuts.
- Don’t overfill if adding fillings like cheese or chocolate.
