My croissant recipe is here.
I'm preparing the ingredients we'll need.
In the bowl of the combine combine the sifted flour, salt, sugar, yeast and the nozzle "hook" mix everything for a minute.
Then I add cold water and milk and knead the dough for 3-4 minutes at a minimum speed, it should come together in a lump.
In small pieces, I add 40 g of butter at room temperature and continue kneading the same way, at minimum speed, for another 4-5 minutes.
You will notice how over time the dough will change, become soft, homogeneous, not sticky, and will gather into one lump. Do not knead for a long time, as you will overheat.
I roll out the dough into a rectangle, approximately 15x30 cm in size, and transfer it to a board dusted with flour. There is also a little flour and a film on top. Leave for 30 minutes at room temperature.
After the time has elapsed, I wrap the dough well with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours. In general, it is possible for a day.
Oil for the interlayer.
From parchment paper I make an envelope with an inner square of 15x15 cm . I put a piece of softened butter (140 g) in the center and distribute it with my hands.
The oil must be tested, with a fat content of at least 82%, and preferably 84%. If you are not sure about the quality of the oil, you can add flour to it: 10% of the amount of oil. That is, for 140 g of butter – 14 g of flour.
I distribute the oil around the perimeter of the square in an even layer. I put it in the refrigerator until needed.
After the time has elapsed, the dough and butter are ready to work. I take it out of the refrigerator and give it 2-3 minutes to warm up. During the time spent in the refrigerator, the dough practically does not increase – this is normal. At a low temperature, the yeast sleeps.
On the work surface, I roll out the dough 2 times more than the oil layer. I spread the oil on one half, it is cooled, but quite plastic.
I pinch well
