Ingrédients

2 1/4 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

1/4 cup warm water

1 cup whole milk, at room temperature

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons salt

3 3/4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup unsalted butter, cold

1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it stand for 5 minutes until frothy.
In a mixing bowl, combine milk, sugar, salt, and yeast mixture.
Gradually add flour, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle.
Cut the cold butter into thin slices and arrange them over two-thirds of the dough. Fold the dough like a letter: fold the uncovered third over the butter, then fold the remaining third over the top.
Roll the dough into a long rectangle again and fold it into thirds once more. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Repeat the rolling and folding process two more times, chilling the dough for 30 minutes between each fold.
After the final fold, roll the dough into a long rectangle and cut it into triangles.
Shape the croissants by rolling each triangle from the base to the tip. Place them on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the croissants with the beaten egg, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
