Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter
  • cup Water
  • 4 cups Cake Flour
  • 7 teaspoon Instant Yeast
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix water and yeast. Keep it aside for 5 minutes.
  • In a mixer, add flour, sugar, and salt. Then, add the yeast mixture and milk. Mix it until it forms a ball.
  • Take out the dough and knead it for 5 minutes until it gets soft and firm.
  • Keep this dough in a greased bowl and keep it for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Dust your work surface with some flour and roll the dough. Make rectangular sheets out of it. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, give the butter a rectangular shape and place them between the sheets of wax paper and roll them. If it is too warm then, let the butter cool.
  • Now, place the rectangular sheet of butter on the rectangular dough. Fold the dough until it covers the whole butter slab.
  • You have to fold it from two sides to cover the butter and form a closed butter-filled dough.
  • Repeat the same procedure for the remaining dough, dust the dough with dry flour, wrap it with some plastic wrap and refrigerate them for about 24 hours.
  • After 24 hours, take the dough out of the refrigerator and unwrap it. Trim its sides to form straight edges.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the dough in half size or as per your requirement, cut those sheets into halves, cut those strips into a triangular shape.
  • When the triangle-shaped dough is ready, start with the base and roll them into crescents from the base towards the tip.
  • Align the baking sheets and put silicone baking mats on them. Place the croissants on them carefully.
  • Brush the surface of the croissants with beaten eggs. Keep the croissants uncovered and let them rest for 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 4000F before baking. Bake them for about 15-28 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool and your mini Croissants are ready.
