[00:04] channel in case you're new here my name

[00:06] is phil in case you're clicking this

[00:08] video for the first time you are much

[00:10] welcome so in today's video let's make

[00:12] croissants so let me tell you croissants

[00:14] are so hard to make it has like a long

[00:17] process but today i'm sharing a very

[00:19] simple easy recipe on how to get the

[00:22] perfect croissants at home and how you

[00:24] can enjoy them this recipe gives you a

[00:25] very soft yummy super flaky on the

[00:28] outside croissants i always finish mines

[00:30] with some icing sugar i tell you it's so

[00:34] so good so without saying more let's get

[00:36] started

[00:38] so for our first step we're going to

[00:39] activate the yeast so here i have some

[00:41] warm water i've added active dry yeast

[00:43] i'm going to mix that well and then we

[00:45] leave this to rest for about five

[00:47] minutes next let's mix the dry

[00:49] ingredients so here i have all purpose

[00:51] flour sugar and salt go ahead and mix

[00:53] that well until everything is nicely

[00:55] incorporated

[00:58] next we'll go ahead and add the yeast

[01:00] mixture and milk so just go in with your

[01:03] hands and then you're just going to

[01:05] knead this until you have a very soft

[01:07] and smooth dough so remember guys i've

[01:08] listed the ingredients and the

[01:10] measurements in the description box down

[01:12] below so make sure to check on that next

[01:14] once your dough is ready we are going to

[01:15] let it rest so here i'm just spreading

[01:18] some oil on my bowl and then i just put

[01:20] the dough let this rest for about 45

[01:22] minutes or until it doubles in size just

[01:25] give the dough a light punch to release

[01:27] out the air build up in that dot next

[01:29] you just place the dough on a flat

[01:30] surface and then we're going to cut this

[01:32] dough into 10 equal pieces so make sure

[01:35] that you have 10 equal balls if you have

[01:38] a weighing scale the better so you just

[01:39] weigh them to equal sizes so just use

[01:42] your hands to form small balls so make

[01:44] sure you're going to make at least 10

[01:46] small balls once you're done we are

[01:48] going to roll them out so just spread

[01:50] some flat on your flat surface and then

[01:53] just using your rolling pin you're going

[01:55] to roll this to small circles we'll

[01:57] repeat this process with the other

[01:58] remaining dough until you're all done

[02:00] once you're done just place them aside

[02:02] and we go to our next step

[02:06] [Music]

[02:16] the perfect croissant is all about

[02:18] butter croissants use a lot of butter so

[02:21] make sure you have a lot of butter for

[02:23] this recipe so just go ahead and take a

[02:25] brush spread the butter on top of each

[02:27] rolled out dough and then just take

[02:29] another rolled dough place it on top and

[02:31] then here i'm just using my hands to

[02:33] spread the butter because the brush was

[02:35] kind of wasting my time so just go ahead

[02:37] with that step until you've layered all

[02:39] the rolled out dough and here i'm just

[02:41] going ahead to press that using my hands

[02:44] to make it a little big bigger next you

[02:46] just place this in the fridge and you're

[02:49] going to let this rest for at least 30

[02:51] minutes

[02:58] and now back to our dough it's been

[03:00] resting for at least 30 minutes so just

[03:02] remove that clear paper and the next

[03:04] thing you're just going to transfer our

[03:06] dough to a flat surface make sure you've

[03:09] dusted your working space so just using

[03:12] your hands you're going to press it a

[03:14] little bit longer because it's a bit

[03:17] cold now you're just going to take your

[03:19] rolling pin and you're going to roll

[03:20] this out so when you're rolling this out

[03:22] make sure to turn and roll the other

[03:24] side as well so just going to roll this

[03:27] into a very large circle so make sure

[03:30] you have like a bigger space because

[03:32] this

[03:33] dough is a bit bigger so you're just

[03:35] going to take your knife or here i'm

[03:37] using a pizza cutter and i'm just going

[03:39] to cut it into smaller triangular pieces

[03:43] so this will give you about 16 pieces of

[03:46] croissant so just go ahead and roll them

[03:48] to a nice croissant shape once you're

[03:50] done you'll place them on your baking

[03:52] tray ready for baking

[03:57] [Music]

[04:03] so here let's just make the egg wash

[04:05] that we'll be using for spreading on top

[04:07] of our croissants so here i have one egg

[04:09] yolk and i've added one tablespoon of

[04:11] milk so i'm going ahead to mix that and

[04:13] then you just spray that on top of your

[04:16] croissants next you'll just place this

[04:18] in your oven at 180 degrees centigrade

[04:21] and bake this for 30 minutes or until

[04:24] they're nicely golden browned on top and

[04:26] here they are they look so yummy they

[04:28] smell so amazing guys you will love it

[04:31] and as you can see they're so easy to

[04:33] make just finish them with some icing

[04:34] sugar and i hope you enjoy
