Whole wheat adds fiber, while bread flour can enhance texture.

Combine sugar, yeast, lukewarm milk, flour, salt, and unsalted butter in a mixing bowl to form a dough.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

Let the dough rise until doubled in size.

Roll out the dough and layer with the additional butter for interlayer filling.

Fold and roll the dough to create layers.

Freeze the layered dough for 20-30 minutes or refrigerate for 1-2 hours or overnight.

Roll out the dough again and cut into triangles.

Shape the triangles into croissants and place on a baking sheet.

Brush with egg or milk wash.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 20-25 minutes or at 200C for about 15 minutes, until browned.
