Super Soft Croissants – A Beginner’s Dream!

In a small bowl, combine warm water and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and bubbly.

Make the Dough:

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and softened butter. Mix until it forms a dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the Dough Rise:

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Shape the Croissants:

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Roll it out into a large rectangle. Cut the dough into triangles.

Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle tightly into a croissant shape. Place the rolled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
