Ingredients
Scale

- 113 grams filtered water
- 113 grams whole milk
- 50 grams butter, melted
- 450 grams organic unbleached all-purpose flour
- 45 grams granulated sugar
- 9 grams sea salt
- 250 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
Instructions
- Feed your sourdough starter by mixing 50 grams of starter with 50 grams of flour and 50 grams of water; let it rise for 4-6 hours.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together your active sourdough starter, melted butter, filtered water, and whole milk until blended. Add flour, sugar, and sea salt, mixing until cohesive.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Knead the dough for 3-5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours.
- Refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 12 hours to develop flavor.
- On the day of baking, prepare your butter filling by slicing 250 grams of room temperature butter and arranging it in parchment paper to chill.
- Roll out the cold dough into an 8×17-inch rectangle; enclose the chilled butter packet in the dough.
- Rotate the dough, roll it out to 18 inches long, then fold and roll again to create layers.
- Shape triangles from the dough and roll each into croissants, placing them point-side down on a lined baking sheet.
- Let the croissants proof under a towel for 2-4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 380°F, brush croissants with an egg wash, and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Allow resting on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
These croissants are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven with a side of fresh fruit and coffee. You can customize with different fillings like chocolate chips or almond paste!
