- Preparation: 270 min
- Cooking: 17 min
- Makes: 1 serving (121 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 50 g Flour, bread (strong)
- 28 g Butter, unsalted
- 22 g Milk, whole
- 8 g Water
- 4 g Sugar

Method
- Mix the flour, milk, water, sugar, yeast and salt to a smooth dough; chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough out and enclose a block of the butter, then fold and roll repeatedly in a series of turns to create many thin layers, chilling between folds; this takes a few hours in total.
- Roll the laminated dough thin, cut into a triangle, and roll up into a crescent shape.

- Brush with the beaten egg and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15-18 minutes until deeply golden and the layers are visibly flaky.
