Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.

Flatten each piece slightly.

Roll each piece into a circle as thin as possible.

Spread soft butter on each circle of dough.

Stack the circles on top of each other, repeating the butter spreading process for all pieces.

Cover the stacked dough with plastic wrap.

Chill in the refrigerator or freeze for 30 minutes.

Roll out the chilled dough gently, without applying pressure.

Cut the dough into 48 equal triangles.

Roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip to form a croissant.

Place the croissants on a baking tray with the tip facing down.

Brush the croissants with a mixture of egg yolk and milk for a golden finish.

Bake in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 15 to 20 minutes.
