They always repeat to us ad nauseam the saying 'Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar'. Breakfast, like the rest of the meals of the day, it is very important. In addition to feeding ourselves, it prepares us to face the work day, and especially for children it is essential to perform in school and not fail in class.

Croissants are never lacking in a complete breakfast. For this reason, we are going to make a good batch of these exquisite sweets so that the children receive the new day like a king. With butter, jam, patés, cold cuts or cheese, they are delicious.

The good thing about croissant dough is that we can freeze it and thus go making them for days so that they are always fresh.

  • Total time:

Ingredients

  • 450 grams of flour
  • 30 grams of baker's yeast
  • 15 grams of icing sugar
  • 15cl. milk
  • a pinch of salt
  • 180 grams of butter
  • two eggs

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, we put the yeast and the sugar, mix it with the lukewarm milk.

  2. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.

  3. Separately, sift the flour and salt and add 30 grams of butter

  4. Make a volcano with the flour and add a beaten egg and the yeast mixture prepared previously in the center

  5. Little by little we are mixing the flour well with the rest of the ingredients, working the dough with our hands until it begins to have consistency and we can start working with the rolling pin.

  6. Then we gradually add a little soft butter to the dough and continue kneading

  7. When the dough is well worked and homogeneous, we wrap it with a clean cloth and let it rest in a cool place for approximately 30 minutes.

  8. Then we work it again lightly, and we wrap it with the cloth again to let it rest for six or eight hours.

  9. After that time, we can make as many portions with the dough as croissants we want to make

  10. These quantities give us for a dozen more or less

  11. We extend the dough of each croissant and roll it to give it the characteristic shape

  12. When we have all of them ready, we place them on the previously greased oven plate and paint each croissant with a mixture of beaten egg and salt.

  13. We let them rest for another 30 minutes so that the dough rises again before cooking them.

  14. We paint them with the egg again and put them in the oven at 200 degrees for 15 or 20 minutes.
