A masterclass in patience and precision — layering chilled butter into yeasted dough through repeated folding, laminating 27 flaky layers that puff and shatter in the oven into a golden, honeycombed crescent.

The Essentials

  • Keep the butter and dough at the same firmness during lamination, since mismatched temperatures cause the butter to break through or squeeze out
  • Chill the dough between each fold for at least 30 minutes, since warm dough loses definition between the layers
  • Roll with even, consistent pressure and rotate the dough regularly, so layers stay uniform across the whole sheet
  • Work quickly in a cool kitchen, since croissant dough gets sticky and hard to manage once the butter starts to soften
  • Proof until visibly jiggly and airy, not just risen in size, since underproofed croissants turn dense rather than flaky
