Instructions to make Croissants:
- Take egg and butter out of the refrigerator. Sit the egg out of the way and allow to warm up slightly. Cut butter into 3 equalish chunks and set aside.
- Place yeast in about 1/4 cup warm water. Allow to soften.
- In a microwave container combine milk, sugar, and salt. Heat enough to dissolve sugar but do not boil, allow to cool to lukewarm.
- After about ten minutes everything should be ready… Egg is warmer, butter is slightly softer and the yeast has softened….
- In a bowl combine lukewarm milk mixture, softened yeast and room temp egg. Beat for about 30 seconds.
- Add 1 cup of flour and beat for about a minute.
- Add flour 1/2 cup at a time beating on medium speed until the dough starts to ride up the beaters.
- Switch to a rubber spatula and continue adding flour until you have a soft dough.
- Once the dough has started to come together but is still soft and tacky, dump on a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough flour to make a well formed and pliable dough.
- Let the dough rest while you work the butter into flat sheets. I put each chunk on a foil sheet, fold the foil over and using the kitchen hammer gently pound the butter into a layer about 1/4" thick. Place all three foil packs in the freezer.
- Meanwhile roll the dough into a rough rectangle. Turn over and ensure lightly floured. If the dough rips a little that is ok. Once the butter has hardened enough to come off the foil intact (or reasonably intact)it's time to put the layers in your croissants.
- Using one sheet of butter at a time do something like this… Place the butter, fold the dough.
- Place the butter (as you can see I rushed my butter from the foil) fold the dough.
- Last butter and fold. Roll dough and fold in half. Repeat once more.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for a couple hours or over night.
- When the dough has chilled, roll on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut into 10 or 12 wedges using a pizza cutter.
- I then flatten each wedge a little and place chocolate chips on the widest part of the dough.
- Roll each wedge, with or without chocolate chips, starting from the wide edge. Place on ungreased baking sheet point down and edges slightly curved.
- Cover and allow to rise for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush each croissant with egg wash (1 yolk and 1/2 tsp. water).
- Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Place on cooling racks, careful these are delicate and flaky.
- If you put chocolate inside you may also choose to drizzle with honey and sprinkle with powdered sugar… Or use honey to hold on sliced almonds or chocolate shavings.
- Enjoy!
