Zubereitung von Traditional Buttery French Croissants For Lazy Bistro Breakfasts

  1. **Day 1: Dough Preparation**
  2. In a large bowl (or bread machine), combine 500g strong bread flour, 5g instant yeast, 30g sugar, 10g salt, and 300ml lukewarm milk.
  3. If using a bread machine, select the dough cycle. If using a stand mixer, knead with a dough hook for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If kneading by hand, knead for 10-12 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Incorporate 250g cold, unsalted butter (cubed), using a folding and turning technique to ensure even distribution. The dough should be fairly smooth and supple. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
  5. Gently shape the dough into a rectangle, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or freeze for longer storage).
  6. **Day 2: Shaping and Baking**
  7. Remove the dough from the fridge (or allow it to defrost in the refrigerator overnight).
  8. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (approximately 60x40cm).
  9. Fold the dough into thirds (like a letter), then rotate 90 degrees and repeat the fold. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  10. Repeat step 3 one more time.
  11. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle again (approximately 60x40cm).
  12. Cut the dough into triangles (approximately 15cm base).
  13. Roll each triangle into a croissant shape, starting at the wide end.
  14. Place croissants onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and proof for 1-2 hours, or until nearly doubled in size.
  15. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
  16. Brush the croissants with milk or egg wash for a golden finish.
  17. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  18. Let the croissants cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
  19. **Freezing Instructions:** Freeze unbaked croissants on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag for longer storage. Defrost overnight in the fridge before baking as usual.
