The easiest way to make croissant! Why I didn't know this method before!

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option while margarine is often less expensive.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber but bread flour can be cheaper and gives a better rise.

Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl; let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

Add warm milk and salt to the yeast mixture; mix well.

Add flour to the mixture and knead the dough by hand for 6 minutes.

Let the dough rest at room temperature for 1 hour until doubled in size.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and divide into 8 equal portions.

Form each portion into a ball and roll out into a circle.

Grease the first circle with soft butter, add another circle, grease again, and repeat.

Chill the stacked circles in the fridge for 1 hour.

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle and trim the edges.

Slice the rectangle into 6 triangles and cut a small slit at the wide end of each triangle.

Roll each triangle tightly from the wide end to the tip and place on a baking sheet.

Let the croissants rest at room temperature for 1 hour.

Grease with egg and bake at 190°C (375°F) for 20-25 minutes.
