  • ¾ cup warm low-fat milk
  • Two tbsp olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • Half cup cold light butter
  • 1 tbsp water

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:

  • We use this as the main base of your dough to give structure and make soft layers inside the croissants. The gluten in it helps to stretch the dough during rolling. You may utilize whole wheat flour for more fiber and nutrition, as per your choice.

SUGAR:

  • Sugar gives light sweetness to your dough and helps it rise. During baking, sugar gives a golden-brown color on the outside. Maple syrup is a good alternative for your recipe.

INSTANT YEAST:

  • Instant yeast rises your dough and makes it light. It makes tiny airy pockets inside your dough to make croissants fluffy after baking. Use active dry yeast as per your choice.

WARM LOW-FAT MILK:

  • It provide moisture to your dough, using low-fat milk keeps the recipe lighter and makes tender croissants. We may use almond milk as another idea.

WATER:

  • We use a small amount of water with the egg to make your egg wash thinner for even brushing. This avoids thick patches on your croissants and makes a smooth golden finish. You may use vegan milk or cream as an alternative.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, you will mix warm milk, yeast, and sugar in a bowl, then let it rest for ten minutes.
  2. Include salt, flour, and olive oil, and mix to make a soft dough.
  3. We will knead the dough for 7 minutes then cover it & let it rise for 60 minutes.
  4. Then roll your dough into a rectangle and spread cold butter slices over it.
  5. Now fold it into layers like letters and roll again, repeat folding for 2-3 times.
  6. Cut the dough into a triangle shape and place it on the tray to let it rest for 20 minutes.
  7. Lastly, brush your dough with egg wash and bake for 22 minutes at 180°C.
