Cooking Steps For French Croissant with Butter and Jam

• 🥧Prepare the Dough
  In a bowl, combine warm milk and yeast, letting it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Add flour, sugar, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms, knead for 5-7 minutes, then chill for 30 minutes.
• 🥧Incorporate the Butter
  Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Layer the butter slices on two-thirds of the dough, then fold like a letter. Chill for 30 minutes.
• 🥧Create Flaky Layers
  Roll out the dough again, fold, and chill. Repeat this process 2-3 times to create the flaky layers.
• 🥧Shape the Croissants
  Roll out the dough into a large rectangle and cut it into triangles. Roll each triangle from the base to the tip to form a crescent shape. Place on a baking sheet and proof until doubled in size (1-2 hours).
• 🥧Bake to Perfection
  Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the croissants with the beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
• 🥧Serve with Butter and Jam
  Cool slightly before serving. Pair with creamy butter and your favorite fruit jam for a classic French experience.
