This technique makes preparing bakery-style croissants at home easy! The procedure is much easier than the one for puff pastry, and the result is great.

INGREDIENTS
500g flour
250g milk
120g sugar
1 pinch of salt
20g fresh yeast
1 egg
vanilla extract
3 tsp. vegetable oil
100g butter

DIRECTIONS
Mix the milk with the fresh yeast. Add a couple of spoonfuls of flour to the milk and yeast and stir. Add the remaining flour, 3 teaspoons of oil, a pinch of salt, sugar and knead. Let the dough rise for at least two hours. Divide the dough equally into 8 balls. Roll out each ball into a circle. Layer these circles alternating them with melted butter. Roll out this layered dough until it’s thinner and slice it into triangles. Fill them with anything you like and roll them up. Let them rise for at least another half-hour, brush them with some egg yolk, sprinkle with some pearl sugar, and bake at 180°C for 20 minutes. Let them cool, and enjoy your breakfast!
