Ultra-Fluffy Croissants RecipeIdeal for a delightful breakfast or as a tasty snack.

Ingredients:

• Warm water, 100ml (3.4 fl.oz)
• Flour, 100g (3.4 oz) for the starter; additional 500g (1 pound) for the dough
• Sugar, 18g (0.6 oz) for the starter; additional 100g (3.4 oz) for the dough
• Fresh yeast, 10g (0.3 oz)
• Melted butter, 70g (2.3 oz)
• Warm milk, ½ cup
• 1 whole egg
• 1 egg white
• Butter at room temperature, for layering
• Egg wash for brushing

Instructions:

1. Begin by dissolving the sugar and crumbling the yeast into the warm water. Mix in 100g of flour to create a sticky dough. Let this sit for 10 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, blend the remaining sugar with melted butter, an egg, and an egg white. Incorporate the yeast mixture and the rest of the flour. Knead until you achieve a smooth dough.
3. Allow the dough to rest for 1 hour, giving it time to rise and develop flavors.
4. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle. Slice this into 5-6 strips, then brush each with room temperature butter.
5. Stack the buttered strips atop each other and roll out again into a rectangle.
6. Cut the dough into triangular shapes. Roll these triangles from the base to the tip to form croissants. Place them on a baking sheet, leaving space for expansion, and let them rise in a warm spot until they double in size, about 30 minutes.
7. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the croissants with egg wash for a golden finish.
8. Bake for 20 minutes or until they’re golden and puffed up.
9. Enjoy your incredibly soft and fluffy croissants!
