Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 400 g flour
- 7 g instant yeast
- 15 g granulated sugar
- 7 g salt
- 35 ml sunflower oil
- 225 ml water
Extra
- 40 g butter, softened
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Mix and Knead Dough: Add the flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, salt, sunflower oil, and lukewarm water to a large bowl. Mix until combined, then knead the dough for 10-12 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Divide Dough: Divide the risen dough into two equal portions.
- Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll each portion into a round-shaped sheet, one at a time.
- Layer with Butter: Spread softened butter evenly over one dough sheet, then place the second sheet on top.
- Cut Triangles: Cut the layered dough into 12 triangles.
- Shape Croissants: Gently stretch each triangle and roll it from the wide base to the tip, forming the classic crescent shape.
- Second Rise: Place the shaped croissants on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush them with the beaten egg and let them rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Bake the croissants for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Watch closely as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
Notes
- For best results, let the dough rise in a warm environment to achieve light, airy croissants.
- Cover the freshly baked croissants with a clean dish towel right after baking to keep them soft.
- You can brush the croissants with additional melted butter after baking for extra richness.
- If you want flakier croissants, consider laminating the dough with cold butter layers, though this recipe is a softer, simpler version.
