Method
    1. Lightly mix all ingredients by hand, then incorporate the butter. The dough will remain lumpy. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
    2. After resting, fold and round the dough, then let it rest for another 30 minutes.
    3. Repeat this process a third time, and you’ll notice how smooth the dough becomes. Let it rest for another 30 minutes.
    4. Divide the dough into twelve 70g portions, shape them into rounds, and place them on an oiled tray.
      Let them ferment for 1 hour covered, or optimal for slow overnight fermentation in the fridge at this stage.
    5. The next day or after proofing, roll each dough round into a rectangle about 10cm long and roll into a croissant shape
    6. Line a baking dish (sides 33×23 cm) with parchment paper, and place the rolls inside.
    7. Cover with plastic wrap and proof until doubled in size, approximately 1-2 hours.
    8. Egg wash each roll.
    9. Preheat the oven to 170°C, then place the rolls inside the oven and lower the temperature to 160°C.
    10. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
    Pro Tips
    • Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to activate the yeast effectively.
    • For a richer flavor, allow the dough to ferment overnight in the refrigerator.
    • Egg wash gives the rolls a beautiful shine and golden color; don’t skip it!
    • Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, ensuring consistency.
