Put 15 grams of fresh yeast in a small bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of flour to the yeast.

Add 50 milliliters of warm milk to the mixture and integrate well.

Cover the mixture until the yeast becomes frothy.

In a separate bowl, add 250 grams of all-purpose flour and make a hole in the middle.

Add 25 grams of room temperature butter, 40 grams of sugar, and a pinch of salt around the edge of the flour hole.

Add 1 egg, zest of half a lemon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence, 1 tablespoon of honey, and the yeast mixture.

Add the remaining 50 milliliters of warm milk and integrate with hands.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth, adding flour to hands if it sticks.

Place the dough in a bowl and cover it, leaving it in a warm place for 30 minutes to 1 hour to rise.

After rising, divide the dough into two portions.

Roll out one portion into a circle about 15 centimeters in diameter.

Cut the circle into 8 equal parts without dragging the knife.

Make a small cut at the bottom of each triangle and stretch it slightly.

Roll the triangle from the bottom to the tip to form a crescent shape.

Repeat the rolling process with the second portion of dough.

Place the croissants on a greased roasting pan, leaving space between them.

Cover the croissants with a cloth and let them rise until they double in volume.

Preheat the oven and bake the croissants at high heat for 5 minutes.

Lower the heat and continue baking until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

In a pot, combine 50 grams of sugar, 50 milliliters of water, and optional orange peel to make syrup.

Cook the syrup until the sugar dissolves and it starts to bubble.

Remove the croissants from the oven and brush them with the syrup.
