- 225 ml water
- 40 g butter (for filling)
- 1 egg (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, salt, sunflower oil, and water. Mix well until combined and knead for 10-12 minutes until smooth.
- Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into two pieces and roll each into a circle on a floured surface. Spread softened butter on one circle and place the second on top. Cut into 12 triangles.
- Roll each triangle from the wide end towards the tip to form croissants and place them on a lined baking tray.
