Homemade croissants

  • 2 tbsp yeast and 2 tbsp sugar in 1/2 cup warm water. Leave 5 minutes or so until frothy, then add with ...
  • an additional 2 cups warm milk to .....
  • 5 1/2 cups of plain white flour with a little salt and 2 tbsp extra sugar.
  • mix together and knead really well for a few minutes, or as long as you can handle.
  • cover and refrigerate for about an hour
  • take out of the fridge, and roll out to about 1/2 cm thick
  • take a 500g block of cold butter, place between 2 pieces of cling film, and beat with a rolling pin until about 1/2 cm thick. Place in the centre of the dough, fold over so that the butter is enclosed. Start rolling, it's a little difficult at first, but it gets easier. Roll into a good length, fold into 3, turn 90 degrees and start again. Do this 2 or 3 more times, wrap and refrigerate.
  • repeat this process - roll, fold, turn x 3, refrigerate up to 5 times. The more you do this, the flakier the croissants will be.
  • cut into manageable sections and roll to about 25cm x 50 cm. Cut into triangles, and start rolling from the long edge. Turn slightly into a crescent shape, brush with egg, and leave to rise. Bake at about 200 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Don't eat right away, leave until cooled.
