Prepare and rest the dough overnight, performing turns. → Prepare butter barrage and laminate into the dough with rolling and folding (book fold, letter fold). → Rest dough in the fridge between folds to relax gluten and keep butter cold. → Perform final roll, mark, and cut dough into triangles. → Shape triangles into croissants, proof until doubled in size, brush with egg wash, and bake.

Bloom the yeast: Whisk 6g of active dry yeast into 130g of water (around 100°F). Let it sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.
In a medium mixing bowl, add 250g of bread flour, 30g of granulated sugar, and 5g of fine sea salt. Whisk thoroughly until evenly incorporated.
Add the bloomed yeast mixture, one egg yolk, and 25g of gently melted unsalted butter to the dry ingredients.
Mix with a spatula until a dough begins to form, then lightly knead with your hands until it comes together.
To give the dough strength, pick it up, slap it against the table, and fold it over itself. Repeat for about 30-60 seconds until a smooth surface appears.
Use grams for accurate measurements, consider getting a kitchen scale.
Opt for high-quality European-style butter with a higher butterfat percentage for better layers.
Dough needs long resting times in the fridge to relax gluten and keep butter firm.
When rolling, apply even pressure and avoid rocking back and forth to ensure butter is evenly distributed.
If the dough resists while rolling, rewrap it and let it rest in the fridge for 25-30 minutes.
During shaping, gently elongate the triangles and roll tightly, making sure to tuck the tails underneath to prevent unrolling during baking.
Proofing temperature is crucial; do not exceed 80°F to prevent butter from leaking.
Be very gentle when brushing with egg wash after proofing, as the croissants are fragile.
